I think I've made my decision on my religious views and I can tell you its not with Christianity nor any other religion. Thanks everyone for trying, but the answers you all gave ultimately made me see the ignorance that is inside of religion. I feel like humanity always turns to religion when they can't explain why life is how it is, but just because you can't explain the world we live in doesn't mean that you automatically turn to some mystical being. In time life will reveal itself through patience and most importantly science. honestly the most logical answer to life is in Atheism. I wish you all the best and hope one day you all will realize why your religion and every other religion out there is dead wrong.
I understand you are going through hard times but you are going about this question the wrong way. You are asking men to interpret God for you. God is so great none of us will ever fully understand God.
You can ask me to explain what a first kiss with the woman you love feels like. I can tell you that there are butterflies and goosebumps and chills down your spine and a weightless feeling that somehow plants you to the ground. But do you understand what a first kiss is? You now know my interpretation and maybe that is good enough for you; just an others word. But, how about your own word?
By asking men to interpret God is like asking me to interpret a first kiss. You can know what it is but you will never understand what it is.
Don't let others tell you the word of God is fallible here and contradictory there. Don't take a humans word for it. Because to be honest as a once atheist it is all regurgitated again and again. It is easier to say there is no God, for if there is no God I will be able to do all the 'sins' I want in this world. And you know what it won't matter because I won't exist afterwards. Please I wish I could have seen this thread sooner, but you are taking the easy way out of this war.
3 months ago I picked up the bible for the first time in my life. I finally read the book of John, Before I read that book I could tell you what it was about and who Jesus was. I bet I could even name all 12 apostles. I could tell you a few versus off the top of my head, and I even could give some atheists points onto why Jesus was not real. After I read that book I realized I knew only what I heard from men. And that knowledge was wrong, misguided, and the scriptures were taken out of context.
Please read the Bible. Don't look for answers about God from men.... Look for answers from God's words...
Sorry for the long post, God Bless You.
