I'm just curious if there is a way other than the absence of God in your life which I guess would be a pretty good sign in itself. Many of you know my history somewhat but for those that don't I was a fundamentalist Protestant for about 12 years. The entire time I spent trying to convince myself that I was "saved" to no avail. I began looking at the Catholic faith a couple of years ago and I'm still not convinced. I pray about it but I get no help in my faith that I recognize and just seem to be in eternal limbo. I have suspected for a while that I'm just damned. I don't want to give up and don't think I will but maybe it's futile for me to continue. Is there a way to know?
