Hi Everyone!
I'm Star and I live in the Big Apple. I joined this forum so that I may learn about Islam. For 12 years I have been pagan with various degrees of devotion. The past year has had many beautiful moments but also alot of pockets of sadness and lonliness. I do my best to help others, and I try to be an honorable citizen. I believe what you send out comes back to you..but this hasn't worked for me.
I began to study Islam only a week ago but have read about it many times in the past, I picked it up again because I feel the Gods I have been worshipping don't hear me or are ignoring me..
Deep inside I still wonder how many Gods there are or if anyone cares about us at all. But with ALOT of prayers for guidance I am taking Islam more serious and bought a Qur'an yesterday..already many things have given me comfort. I dont know if I will convert as it is sooo hard to believe in anything, I was raised atheist to begin with so that compiled with everything else.. I will leave it to God to decide. Also, if anyone has suggestions I would *greatly* appreciate it. Thank you!
(Sorry to write so much!)
