All my life I have searched for a reason to believe. To understand what people call faith. You see I have a high functioning form of autism. Part of it which is relevant to this post is that I don't really understand emotion. I live life in such a rational existence that ideas like religion and social interaction make little sense among other things.
So I have always looked for a rational explanation for everything. But also I have always wanted to experience and understand how people can have faith. How they can believe in something intangible. This leads me to my idea for this experience/experiment. Yesterday I ordered a copy of the NIV Bible.
My plan is to read it start to finish. I want to document it though. I want to record my reactions and interpretations of the verses and chapters. I want to post the videos here and try to open up a dialogue between steemit users and myself. I want to exchange interpretations of the message so many people believe in and use as the basis for their daily lives.
Mainly, I want to understand this concept of faith. I want to believe. Hopefully you will be interested in this journey and help me understand things I miss. Help me rationalize faith in a way I can understand. I look forward to discussing the things I will uncover while reading.
Let me know what you think of this adventure.
