Dear Helix,
You must understand that every Christian at one point in time did not know the Truth and some did not even believe in a God!
The Truth must start with you taking the first action, and that is wlling to ask the Truth into your heart. Christ came to reveal the Truth about God and to make the mysteries of God known unto man. A simple prayer is all that it takes for one to begin to develop and understanding of the Truth, then that truth that is now sown within you begins to reap knowledge that was at one point in time musiunderstood or unknown.
I'm sure that you know of the popular adage that "The Truth shall set you free!" This is from Jesus Himself who is the very Word of God incarnate. You may not believe me or don't have to but I can assure you one thing which no atheist nor theologian nor anyone for that matter can take from me, and that is The Absolute Truth. Not just a mere notion, but it is Truth that has set me free. You will know the Absolute Truth when your search ends, it begins with Christ and ends with Christ! There is a reason why there lies deep within the heart of man a void that needs to be filled my friend. Don't just open your mind Helix, (open) your heart!
John 8:32 - And ye shall (know) the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
GOD BLESS!
