Thanks for sharing your testimony.
Revelation 12:11
"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Why all this pretense?
Good luck!
Dude, chill I posted that before I saw your reply (not that I wouldn't have posted it anyway), but I'm not here to spit in anyone's face.
You have your life experience, while I have mine; we both have our reasons, they just happen to lead to different conclusions.
I know all there is to know about the bible (I defended the faith against, & debated with the very atheists that I now myself am becoming for 10 years of my life) - the archeological evidence, the prophetic, the scriptural evidence itself, etc, etc...but that's just not enough anymore

I've always thought that atheists are just as confused as the religious types. Claiming to know without a doubt there is no god makes as much sense as claiming to know without a doubt there is a god.
Which I suppose makes agnostics like I the most confused of all with one key difference. We don't really care either way! 
No offense to meant to anyone. Diversity is what makes the world interesting.

I don't know whether you guys know each other, but it seems very strange that you're taking his decision so personally...
figuratively of course...
I like the guy and what he has posted in these forums...I think he has a good heart.
I don't know why it hurts me.
maybe I am strange.
Didn't you always think of us and the concept of God to be strange?
nothing new here....right?

according to the bible, your just as guilty as the rest of us - see the fucked up thing about religion is that it's all or nothing. You might as well be an atheist, having the assurance that there is nothing hereafter rather than be agnostic & always wonder the what if.

I prefer to think of atheism as generally not thinking about the subject at all.

there was one south park episode where they discussed the bible and it's contents. the summary at the end was basically that the new testament is a set of stories that describe one way that people can act to have a good life and interact well with others. It's not a book filled with stories that should be taken literally an applied to everyday life.
That was about the Book of Mormon, and how Joseph Smith came to 'discover' it.
>We'll talk at Osh
it's all good as long as you remind him that atheism is a non prophet organization....like the EAA 
Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

QuoteDude, chill
you're right, I don't know why I even care so much...I'm sure this sorta thing happens all the time. I guess I'm just too passionate (as with everything) It's never encouraging when one gives up faith...
But atleast you're being honest and not faking it in order to take advantage of the system.
Quotebut that's just not enough anymore
I pray God does something remarkable in your life...
would you please consider praying?

Definitely watch Letting Go of God, Catholic->nonbeliever and her journey to get there.
For some reason, I find solace in the unknown..."I Will Follow You Into The Dark"

I was raised a Catholic, but at 8ish decided the fairy tales were just that - tales - and was getting weirded out by people believing in that. My mind relies on logic/science to explain things and this didn't mesh. Had about 2 decades to deal with my 'decision' and still question myself...but always come back to believing in myself before other things that may or may not be out there. I'll be in my own good graces, not a boogey man's that coerces people to do bad shit to each other.

Wait a minute! I thought the Jews killed god a couple thousand years ago...
Surely he's decomposed by now and living in some other form.
Perhaps the elements he returned to the earth were recycled and used to form my body.
Which means I AM god!

The Joseph Smith episode was a different one.QuoteWe don't have to believe every word of the Bible. They're just stories to help us to live by. We shouldn't toss away the lessons of the Bible just because some assholes in Italy screwed it up.

If we go by homeopathic doctrine does that mean we've all taken the antidote to Jesus?

Some interesting reading, but it still comes down to either BELIEF or LOGIC. The two cannot be debated. It will not work.
If you believe in something, all the logic in the world is not going to convene you otherwise and vise a versa. Logic will not win over the believer. That's why it is called a belief.

Welcome to the club. I will have to admit there is so much horse shit in the Christian religion of today that it is difficult to discern what is empowering from that which just ensnares. I also went through a dark passage, which in retrospect was vital to the Truth that I see today. Good luck on your journey.
