So don't learn anything and see what will become of you.
I see you didn't actually read specifically what I said. Care to try again, or will it be necessary to spell it out for you?

I did experience that burning love that fills your heart, and makes you tingly, when I was a christian and when I wasn't one. The last time I felt it was when I lost my fear of hell and started thinking about my daughter. That was last December.
Well it is possible to lose your way, it doesn't take much to lose focus on God and then slowly distance yourself from him.

This apparently happened when you focused to much on your daughter and not God the devil is not above using loved ones to steal our hearts from God. A child of God doesn't need to fear hell but if one loses their way.. well honestly I don't want to talk about that. but if i may give some advice you are free to accept it or not if you are really concerned about your daughter and her well being then you need to rekindle that fire that was lost. the closer you get to God and the stronger you become in him the better off your daughter will be whether she is saved right now or not.

of course I am not one to force faith on someone and its not my place to judge you whatever you choose but as a concerned person for you and others I am simply giving my 2 cents

Fear will only suppress your ability to learn. If you stop learning you will starve your mind from it's food, then you will become sick.
The fear mentioned here would mean something closer to respect than sheer terror, and regardless it doesn't say “Fear of the Lord is the beginning and end of knowledge” nor did I suggest it was, that's just the starting line. I can personally testify that through the Lord I look at, and understand the things of this world on a whole different level than I was even capable of with my carnal mind before being regenerated. See I experienced an overnight, Paul like, just like described in the Bible, regeneration. This took place in my room all by myself, not in the controlled environment of a church house where they control the atmosphere and use heavy suggestion to “convince” me I felt something and am saved. I have felt the true life changing, life giving, power of God conversion that the people that knew me and saw the change couldn’t possibly deny, and what’s more I wasn’t even looking for Jesus to help due to the fact I thought I had already done that. I also feel this is how His power has always worked, and there is very much proof it’s all true, it’s just not the proof most would even consider much less accept. I can tell you honestly I feel much more intellectually capable than I ever did as a “free thinker”, or when I only “thought” I was a Christian.

For the record I do agree with your point about getting sick by starving your mind of and repressing truth.

I haven't seen my daughter for 12 years that's why I was thinking about her, I wasn't worried about her eternal soul.

I did read it again per your request, and I'll just add to my post.

The bible makes a point that men are ever learning but not coming to a knowledge of God. But one can not stop their learning in favour of only learning the bible. Because learning about everything that consists in life won't be found just by reading the bible only. And if we don't learn everything we need to we won't survive.

Yes they have changed but they still exists for now.

Maybe I missed it in another post but could I ask you what might have happened that changed your faith in God to not believing in Him anymore? Was just wondering if you would share the cause of the change?

It starts with one thing, and that starts you questioning, then by questioning you discover more things, then soon it all comes undone.

OK, obviously I have to spell it out for you..

Learning, when it is the sole focus of the unrighteous man -- the one who does not belong to Christ -- is discounted, made useless. The passage speaks of those who study through intellectual endeavor but never open their heart to what they read.

I dont think I had any posts with this person so I cant make a comment. They were banned for a reason so I leave that up to the powers that be.
