Re: Why is there no such thing as a Believer turned ATHEIST? Where you all at?
 Quoting: AtsuiPanda

I went from a regular church goer to an aetheist when I was a teen. I figured all the crap that was happening to me & all the unanswered prayers - God didn't exist.

My eyes were opened 3 years later & I became a believer again. Haven't turned back.
 Quoting: mopar28m


Living without fear was too much for ya eh?

So you HAD to return to what you knew.

because...

One thing all christians have in common is

1)FEAR..they fear demons..they fear hell..they fear god..the fear sin..they fear sinning. Their whole lives DWELL on and IN and THROUGH FEAR. Get them together in large groups and the fear FEEDS of itself.

2)WEAKNESS. They NEED to hang around others like themselves so as not to give in to their SELF confessed "WEAKNESSES". Its all about BEING weak. The weaker you are the HOLIER you are. They THRIVE on weakness. They make millions from it. They sell books to "Strenghten" the weak knees. Its all about being utter and total WUSSES.

3)SICKNESS. Its their favourite hobby. You want to see SICK UNHEALED SUFFERING PEOEPLE..go to a church. They CLAMOUR for healing for all their "SICKNESSES"..of the mind..of the body..of the soul..its ALL based around being SICK and WEAK and CONSTANTLY in FEAR.

TRY it..go to almost any church for at least three weeks in a row so you can get the gist of what they are on about..what they say and think and do when they are together...what the sermons are always about besides MONEY.

TRY it..and see SICKNESS and WEAKNESS and FEAR..in all its glory.

I didn't exactly go back to what I knew. Instead of Sunday, I now keep Sabbath on Saturday.

Instead of the pagan holidays I was keeping, I now keep the festivals of Lev. 23.

I've been miraculously healed a few times. Technically I shouldn't be alive but I am.

I've had visions that saved my life a few times over. Didn't have those when I was a Sunday keeper, pagan holiday keeper.
 Quoting: mopar28m


But you still FEAR!

You wont dare turn back because god will burn you alive forever if you do.

FEAR..keeps you grovelling.

Its the ONLY reason you do.

Its the only reason ALL chriatians do.

If fear was the reason, I wouldn't have turned back to the faith.

The miracles in my life is what solidified that there is a God.

No, the question of Jesus being validated is not in question.

Despite your opening words "If Jesus is such a sham?". . .?

hmm

I've put feelers out to a group of facebook Heretics I consort with, so we'll see what kind of numbers/volume I can provide regarding believers who turned atheist.

Also, I just remembered the Bible Wheel guy - despite his exquisite work in discovering "intrinsic geometric integration of the sixty-six books amongst themselves and with the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet", he has recently bailed out (though I don't think he'd label himself an "atheist"):

Ok, thanks for collecting that. I will check it out. I'm confused though about getting through (?) do you mean because you don't think I will say. "I think I'm going to go ahead and go against God because that guy on GLP made good points that got through to me".?

Re: Why is there no such thing as a Believer turned ATHEIST? Where you all at?
wtf? that happens alot.. -.-

MANY people drop religion as a whole like a plaque and turn atheist
 Quoting: AtsuiPanda


No, that's when you're just raised in a religion.

You're never a believer if you just happened to find yourself going to a temple just because everyone else does. Belief only happens when you start looking for the core of your religion, and this rarely happens these days.

Most people equate religion with its adherents, and since people are by nature imperfect in most aspects, abandoning your beliefs just because of people and unreasonable doctrine is a misguided step.

Never convert out of convenience; do not abandon your faith just because of bad experiences or what other people say.

Re: Why is there no such thing as a Believer turned ATHEIST? Where you all at?
nevermind christianity or any other "religion"...


I dont think a believer can turn athiest. actually I dont really believe athiest are athiest. they may be but I cant fathom it. I know this one guy and we talked about it and he seemed for real about it. when you die, thats it, its over he says.

he is a friend, I accept that and agree to disaggree. he is a really smart guy (engineer) but inside Im thinking how can you possibly be this stupid?

BTW my version of "God" is the source of all mind(s)

cant be explained or put in words but as close as you can would be One Mind from which all else originates.

At fist and for many years I believed the fairy tale.
As I studied other information, Christianity did not stand up under close unbiased scrutiny. There is not a single separate entity known a the GOD. Our real spiritual self of each of us is part of the creation entity.
