I have finally put my life in the hands of the Lord

[JediJohnnie]

I used to think my Mom was crazy when she said she talked to God and he gave her visions, ect.  My Mom has been a christian her whole life and I remember going to church with her although I hated going in the end because it was boring.  I have always questioned whether God is real and how do you know if he is real.  The other night, I was going to bed, and all the sudden he spoke to me.  I wasn't looking for him, I wasn't thinking about him...he came to me on his own.  I don't know why this happened, part of me thinks it's because I know my Mom prays for me all of the time.  I understand, "nothing compares to the promise I have in you" now...I understand everything my Mom was talking about all this time.  It's nice to know that I can talk to her about what I'm experiencing because I know she knows exactly what I'm talking about.  I think it was Gods gift to me to have me think my Mom was crazy before he called me back that way I can see Christian experiences through a non-believers eye and know to be careful what I share and when.

It's like the things I have been trying to change for YEARS he changed in a matter of minutes.  I never want to go back to how I was.  I feel so much joy, peace, love, confidence, I'm like the person I've always wanted to be and MORE joy is pouring out of me.  I just want the whole world to feel the joy that I feel in God.  I feel like he is always with me guiding me through the day, I find myself naturally thanking him throughout the day and I even downloaded music that I used to think was so goofy when I was a teen but now I just want to sing out to him.

I can't thank God enough for revealing himself to me and changing me.  I will never forget the night that he spoke to me and changed my life.

 

Good luck with your imaginary friend. I hope you come to your senses when you grow up.

Good luck trying to find anyone to take you seriously when you insult people's world view.I hope you come to your senses when you grow up.

Good luck finding anyone who isn't as self-deluded and faith-blinded to take your superstitious beliefs seriously. There's no evidence to support a contention that you'll ever "grow up"; mentally or emotionally.

The only thing "imaginary" is the thought that people take your nonsense seriously.

No, there's nothing "imaginary" about rational thinking and logical reasoning, whereas your religious superstitions are entirely based on the imaginary fictions deriving from blind religious faith.

Now, go pretend to put these posts on 'ignore' so that you don't have to see your nonsense being refuted again.

It's really unfortunate that some people worry about others' reasoning abilities so much that they become obsessive compulsive with feeling like they have to constantly hound them, instead of enjoying their own choices in life.  Other people's choices in life do not affect the some, yet the some are so obsessed with the hounding, that it begins to make others wonder what is wrong with the some's mentality.  It makes others wonder why the some don't seem to be content in their own personal choice...

It's really unfortunate that some people worry about others' reasoning abilities ...

Not nearly as "unfortunate" as those who fail to use any remnant of reasoning abilities which may have survived their self-deluding blind religious faith.

Other people's choices in life do not affect the some ...

Sure, religious zealots "choices" to instigate the crusades, (at least four of those, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths), inquisitions, (more than more, with more deaths resulting), witch hunts and forced cultural assimulations don't affect others ... unless you're able to use reasoning abilities.

*Little violins playing* - oh boo hoo - you just cannot let go of your intolerance and wrongful accusations to Christians.  I'm so sorry you are struggling so hard with your pride with this.

That's your response to the responsibility of xtian zealots, (who believed exactly the same superstitious crap as you do), for the deaths of millions, and you call me "intolerant"?  You're a hypocritical, faith-blinded xtian fundie by your own choice.

- you just cannot let go of your intolerance and wrongful accusations to Christians.  

I am "intolerant" of xtian-instigated crusades, xtian-instigated inquisitions, xtian-instigated witch hunts, xtian-instigated forced cultural assimulations and xtian-instigated attempts to disassociate themselves from other xtian zealots who believed the same superstitions.

Thank you for stating the obvious.

Thank you for stating the obvious.

The only thing "obvious" about such a specious religious rant is its irrationality.

[falcon9]

There is no logical reason to "be accountable" to some hypothetical supernatural egregore which has no evidence of existing.  Doing so would be irrational.

The time you spend to discredit that God exists only proves more that you know He exists...

That's illogical; no evidence has been provided to "prove" the claim that such a hypothetical supernatural egregore exists, (that burden of proof is on you religious zealots who claim it, not on those who challenge you fundies to substantiate your claim).

Since they are of the past, you are entitled to your intolerance of all of that, just as I am.  You have a big problem separating Christians living for the Lord, from those particular ones of the past.  Christians try hard to follow His command to love all, and that's your problem refusing to come to terms, not the Christians on this forum, or outside of this forum.  You must think your words are set in stone, but you have another thing coming.  You obsess so much about this subject, that it really sounds like you absolutely know that God is there, but you do not wish to give up your intolerance and hate toward Christians, and it's obvious you do not wish to be accountable to God.  Your choice.  Others choose God.  Get over it, please.

The xtian zealots of the past who committed the atrocities of the crusades, inquisitions, wwitch hunts and forced-assimulations of other cultures held the same central religious beliefs as xtian adherrents do today.  There is no separation between the same belief system from then and now, much as xtians would prefere to distance themselves from thier 'fellow' xtians who held to the same religious belief system.  Don't like your choice?  You made it; live with it.

Its a waste of time trying to prove to you God exists.Im actually bewildered how you consume so much time and energy saying the same garbage.Thats why it comes from a strong dislike from you to fuel it and you NOT wanting to be accountable to him.Of course you would never admit i was right but you dont need to....its that obvious.

So continue on with your radishes and wheel chair.Lets have some fun at least....LOL.

Oh and BTW...why do you keep saying i should bring up wheelchairs with marines?I have nothing against them and id be sorry for them if they got hurt because this country made them fight in a stupid war.What i find funny is that youuuuuu......of all people were in the service defending us.LOLLLLLLLL!!!The type of guy you are im sure you werent doing it for the people anyway who the hec ru kiddding!!
