Use your faith as a shield.
I have studied this stuff extensively and there were times I got a little nervous about it (i.e., delving into stuff I should probably avoid).
But I keep coming back to Sun Tzu's admonition of "know thine enemy."
I resolved to keep digging into it, but to keep my faith front and center as a shield. I do a lot of praying before, during, and after any studying or digging I do on this subject.
I have always been a “science” and “math” guy but the more I learn, the more I realize that faith in God is completely consistent with such.
