By the way, what is a born again agnostic?

Someone who doesn't know what "born again" and "agnostic" mean.

Great thanks, MsLady. It seems that everyone else simply assumed it meant what they wanted it to mean. The term was actually applied to me by someone else; but I liked it, and so I use it.
It means that I was/have been an atheist since I was about 12 or 13 yrs old (I’m 39 now); and have in recent years given new thought to the possibility of God’s existence; the importance of religion in the life of a society; and, my own beliefs regarding what is written in the Bible. This self-questioning along these lines has been increasing in speed and intensity in the past 3-4 years. I’m no longer an atheist; but I cannot yet call myself a person of FAITH. I believe and agree with most of what is in the Bible, but have trouble understanding some passages. Maybe I’m congenitally incapable of faith, I don’t quite know.
