4)....the simplicity of "God is Love". Let it set for awhile. Don't push it, try not to over-intellectualize it right off the bat.
5)..... so disenchanted with deity and here on the Agnostic forums (I presume) in the first place.
6)There's so much more to 'know'... maybe your 'answers' will become apparent if you delve a bit further and broader with me/us.

1) I just wanted to understand (can't promise to not to judge, but will try to avoid).
2) I only live once... it may as well be dangerously as safely. And the oustside is a mirror of my inside (imperfect as it may be).
3) Me, suddenly believing... not an issue.
4) If it's any solace my wife seems to agree with you.... go figure, as they say in North America.
5) Never was enchanted.... so am not disenchanted.
