From Missionary Bible Translator to Agnostic

My full story is available at my homepage. Briefly, I grew up the son of missionary parents in Africa, felt I had an intense personal relationship with Jesus, became a missionary Bible translator in Africa, and returned in 2000 as a result of my inability to continue accepting the divine inspiration of the Bible. Considered myself a deist for over a year, then in 2001 or 2002 moved toward an atheistic-leaning agnosticism. All my family members are still believers, including my wife.
