I appreciate what you are saying, Fnord. I'm certainly not looking to suggest any religion is right or wrong. I'm definitely not one to judge. I believe in freedom of religion and all the other constitutional rights we have. This was just a request for me personally.
No worries. I'm just trying to help you get settled in, and without too much of the "culture shock" that most of have gone through ... expecting a supportive environment regardless of our beliefs, and instead being attacked by those who believe differently.
(Full Disclosure: I have done just that sort of thing to others, and I'm now trying to change my ways.)

I was looking for others to connect with (possibly through private messages) who might help me develop behavioral tools that are Christ-based. Like I said, I'm recently saved and I'm just beginning to read scripture and study the Bible. I find personal strength and blessings in God's word. I'm just looking for others that do the same. If I am not able to make such connections, so be it.
I tried finding that sort of "connection" in church, and instead encountered just about every sort of bigotry there is. It isn't any better here, by the way.
