But you don't have to take my word for it, you could just pray. ;)
I was a Christian for the first 15 years of my life. Most atheists have tried out religion, you know.

I'm glad you've found a faith that makes you happy, though.

Cearbhall, most Christians have tried atheism, you know. At least I know that's been the case with me. I am ashamed to say this, but I've been an atheist a time or two in my life over the years.

But guess what?

Each time I've lost my faith or lost my way, CHRIST would literally manifest and reclaim me. Kinda like Footprints in the Sand, you know.

If you are interested in hearing anymore testimony, let me know. I'd be happy to share my stories with you. ;) God bless.

It's interesting to know that you tried atheism, but you are wrong in your statement. Most Christians became Christians when they were children, and most of the effort to evangelize is focused on children.

Aah ... I’ve been a Christian ALL my life. Meaning I was raised in the church; forced to go every Sunday, sometimes two/three times a week. It is very common to waver in your faith from time to time, as you are growing up and evolving in your understanding of the world.

I don’t ever recall labeling myself an atheist (maybe I did once or twice), but there were certainly periods in my life when I stopped believing in God, doubted the existence of heaven and hell, and questioned the authenticity of the Bible. There were certainly times in my life when I thought none of it was true or only some of it was true. In fact, this moment was one of those times.

Like in that situation, where a cross appeared on the wall and the Holy Ghost said there’s going to be a revival, Christ would materialize and reclaim me each and every single time. It is just that if I elaborated on ALL of my supernatural eye-witness accounts (31 years worth of testimony), we’d be here all day.

Even a buddy of mine said recently, “Man, you’ve lived a miraculous life. ... A person off the street who never met you or knew you would consider those events as real-life miracles.”

And I owe it all to Jesus Christ. :crosseo:
