How is it that different people can feel different confirmations for particular beliefs? Some might be biased already, but I'm sure a lot are not. How can children?? Children who have not been pushed or pulled in any particular direction, who have walked in and out of many religious buildings and heard many different teachings, just all of a sudden know in thier heart that something is suddenly right? And if it is really right, why would it not be consistent with the feeling others have recieved?
Some of the people who have felt things such as this, have committed atrocities in the name of The Divine far more evil than any non-religious phycopath could hope, so what exactly is up with these burny-fluttery-fuzzys that people get in their heart/gut?
~*~I got this feeling about the LDS church when I prayed about it's truth when I was 11. i had already said other prayers many other times when the local Baptist churches asked me to.... and either nothing would happen or I would get a not-so-great feeling (but that usually came during the initial visit on Sunday). In fact, at this point in my life, being raised by a very religiously eccentric father who dislikes organized christianity, I had come to my own conclusion that I thought church was fake, and stupid. So why did i get that funky feeling that led me to a church I still believe to be the closest to perfect among christianity?? I was even angry with the church once when I was 15, and stayed so for a few years. But now that I am older and more mature, I still feel shockingly similar to how I did when I was 11 regarding the churches truth, although I now have a few disagreements Still too funky of a coincidence for me to dismiss as childesh/naive/immature ~*~
I'd like to hear any experiences others have had with this oddity, and what you think about it. Has anyone else recieved multiple ~fuzzies-n-burnys~ for multiple faiths? :flower2:
