If so, Can you point to the reasons that make you believe in God?
Please try and Give an honest answer...
I Can tell you my POV, I Used to believe in a God..
Not a religious God but a God that is a part of my being.
I Am a very curious man, And as such, I Love to learn as much as I can and find how things work the way they do, what brings something to be as it is and such.
One of my biggest question was the notion of God.
I Studied a lot about spirituality and religion, I had deep conversations with dozens of people from various beliefs, I red books and saw lectures, I Experimented and experienced quite a Lot.
My family is a very "spiritual" family, and they have belief in a God.
To me it seems, that the more I was curious, The more I've learned about God and spirituality, The less i was convinced that all those ideas have anything to do with reality.
I Was raised to respect God, I Was raised to believe a God and I can admit that a lot of times I found myself wondering whether or not I am acting as God would won't me to...
Today I am a complete Atheist.
During my long (ish) life, I Have never found anything that made my belief stronger but rather made me understand that I was believing in things that have no validity to the universe as humans experience it.
I Try to be a kind person, I Try to be honest and do my best to raise my kids as Kind and "Good" persons.
I make mistakes as anyone else, And I find great satisfactions at times that I feel I've acted in a way that is beneficial to me and others.
It seemed to me, that the less I believed in God, The better person I became.
So I would love to hear how you became a religious / believer person?
Was it something you grew up with?
Is it a specific event that made you believe?
Is it something you cannot even put your finger on?
Have you questioned and tried to "fight" your beliefs?
Now, If you really are a believer, Can you speculate what is the difference between you and I?
Many times i heard things like, This is what God wanted for you.. or this is all part of Gods plan... Or that is free will and of course the great promise that I will probably rot in hell for not believing in God.
I Live in a religious state, It will be understatement to say that i suffer from a lot of things I am "forced" to follow in the name of religion that I have zero faith in.
Just to make it clear, I Have no intentions what so ever to "Believe" again.. That's not something I miss nor crave for.
I Do however will be glad to hear some of your thoughts of what "I Am doing wrong" in your POV ...
I Tried many things, I Had great beliefs, I Experimented and lived as a spiritual person for many years.
My life are great, I Have struggles and hard times, I Have ease and Successes... Nothing special for better or worse. There was no Single event I can point on and say "If that happened, There must be no God"...
Most of my years I actually believed that when **** hits the fan, It was God's way of "teaching me a lesson" about something.. Naturally, I find it absurd today...
Cheers and happy times
