"So let me make my first question. Why are you agnostic, depite all informations we have access today, to get answers and give the ability to come to a own faith , even if it is atheist faith?"

Some of us here believe in God but not the bullshit, vengeful, neurotic God of fundamentalist christianity. Sorry for the candor, but it is my opinion that fire and brimstone preaching amounts at its very best to disinformation and at its very worst to spiritual abuse which is most likely just as negative as physical and other forms of abuse. But for the sake of insight, lets see what kind of "information" fundamental christianity has to offer us:

1) God is vengeful, wrathful, needy being that will condemn you if you dont worship him in the precise way he has laid out and do not follow his many rules to a tee
2) If you are anything other than a born again christian (i.e. Buddhist, Hindu etc.) you will be punished with everalasting damnation regardless of whether you are a good hearted, loving individual
3) If you drink or dance, you will go to hell
4) If you are a homosexual, you are destined for hell because "God hates fags"
5) If you are a heterosexual and engage in sex outside of marriage, you are going to hell
6) The Bible is to be taken literally and is the definitive book on all of existence even though it has many contradictions not to mention insane behaviors

Sorry, but this for me is the definition of insanity. If thats what you have to offer, I politely decline as do many in this day and age. I personally prefer to get my information about God firsthand from people who have had near death experiences and not from the biblical interpreations of some psychotic, egomaniacal fire and brimstone preacher.

Regardless, I wish you well in your personal spiritual pursuits.
