Debates with My Dad
Posted by MERYEM CHIN
Before, I have never had the courage to face up to this and instead shelved my questions for years. My parents keep saying there is this change in me, but this is happening not because I have changed my beliefs, but because I am finally on my way to seek for myself my own true faith.

The Contradictions of the Trinity
Posted by MERYEM CHIN
Fed up with the analogies trying to explain the concept of the Trinity, I decided to compile my own list of quotes from the Bible to sieve out whether or not Jesus ever mentioned that He is equal to, or part of God. The result? Even he rejects it.

What Losing Your Religion Feels Like

Losing your religion is a gradual thing. It creeps on you over the years, until one day you cannot take it anymore and say, "I need to do something about this." But losing your religion shouldn't mean losing your faith.

Wanting to Fear God
Posted by MERYEM CHIN
Somehow I was never God-fearing. My religion taught me that God loves me so much that He will forgive all my sins, so what is there to fear? Will that STOP me from sinning further, or if I do sin, would I feel so awful and want so badly to repent and be forgiven?

To the Hesitant Soul
Posted by MERYEM CHIN
Dear Hesitant Soul, You wondered if you'd be able to follow all the rules. You didn't want to seem like a hypocrite; and you worried about your family and friends and what they would think. So you held back; you hesitated. This is for you; you're not alone.
