I am very glad to have come across this post. I do not know many Christian people. There are those who might be officially Christian, but they have no real relationship with their religion. It is similar with Muslims, because many identify as Muslim but have little connection to the Quran.
I was speaking with my wife and expressing my sadness that I can only think of one man who truly calls himself Christian and actually follows some Christian practices. He is extremely kind and even fasts.
She asked me why I felt sad about that. For context, we are Muslims. I told her that it is better to have more Christians than people who have no moral compass at all.
Please do not misunderstand me. There is only one God, not three. But religious people, tend to care about others and strive for justice, mercy, and the general good.
By the way, I am also a highly rational person, and from my wrestling with the Quran, there is nothing that makes more sense than the idea of a single, all-powerful, and merciful God. It was the Quran that inspired me to become more interested in math, chaos theory, and the simple yet powerful ability to ask questions in order to understand — something people often avoid because they are afraid or do not want to admit the limits of their knowledge.
All in all, please go ahead and read the Bible. Do not think that morality has become obsolete. From my understanding, morality, justice, and honesty are what raise human dignity and bring true peace and satisfaction.
