To whom it may concern,
Raised Catholic, I questioned my indoctrination, especially an apparent Bible contradiction, which threatened to destroy the very foundation of Christianity. At thirteen, I saw myself drowning as my life flashed before my eyes, during a near-death experience.
High school evolution studies further eroded my faith, leading to a downward spiral into the dark realm of the occult. Divine intervention later directed me to a Bible study where debate raged over Scripture interpretations.
How? It was one book!
Why are we here? Where did we come from? What happens after death?
With an obsession for truth, I weighed the validity of all Christian doctrines against the Bible, as Darwin's Theory of Evolution loomed menacingly in the background. My search culminated in a solo pilgrimage to the Holy Lands of Israel and Egypt.
All my life I've been searching for the truth.
I found it.
