@alex Look, I'll be honest: The practice of Christianity is a fucking shitshow. I wouldn't just take anyone's word at face value, because everyone's got some sort of agenda.

That said, the Bible is NOT easy. If it was, I'm not sure we'd be having these conversations. But look, you're not alone, Alex. I'm not going to point you anywhere else, but instead if you do take up reading it, and have questions, come to me directly. I'll give you a hand with it to the best of my ability. I think the biggest weak point in my Bible studies is mostly the same as any other who spends a lot of time in study: Psalms.
