Dear Gentleman Atheist,
you ask what originally makes me becomes a christian. I think it will be difficult to answer you with a short answer.
I was born in and brought up in a taoist family. But my belief in God is always that God is a most high God, unlike the gods in taoism. So, even as a child, I had believed in a God, but I just do not know which religion He comes from.
I remembered when I was on a tour as a teenager at age 13, I went to Canada for the first time in my life. However, because of my asthma, I could not visit snow mountain with my family members. I was forced to stay in a hotel. I prayed to my unknown most high God and it snowed in Canada that day, even though it was not supposed to be snowing. I saw snow for the first time in my life and believed in the power of the most high God, whom I still worship as the unknown God.
When I prayed to Him in my teenage years, I will always said this phrase, "To the most high one true God", because I do not want any God but the most high God to answer my prayers.
I prayed to the unknown God to show me which religion He is from, and somehow my search became narrowed down to Islam, Judaism and Christianity. I could have chosen to believe in any of these three religions but there was a feeling in me, a feeling that could not be explained by scientific reason, that told me that God is found in the religion of Christianity.
I chose to follow that feeling and believe in the christian God. But the funny thing was, even though I now believe in the christian God, I do not want to commit to Him or be a christian. An incident came that changed my mind, and I became a christian.
There are times as a christian when I do doubt God, but I always get back to Him in the end. It is my hope, Gentleman Atheist, that you may one day find God in your life as well.
Though I don't deny that this life is awesome and wonderful, but it is even more awesome and more wonderful when God is around. Unlike some christians, even if I only live now and never goes to the afterlife known as heaven, I will still be a christian and worship God.
The wonder of being a christian for me, is in the present while I live. It is nice to know and love God, and to receive His love in return. It is even nicer to know that there is an after-life, and that life runs in eternity.
I had witnessed many wonders of God in my life, of which perhaps, I will share with you some other times since they cannot be confined in one post.
Thank you for reading through all this, gentleman atheist, I hope it had been of some help to you.
