I think it's pretty normal to have a desire to live in fellowship, community and harmony with the Creator and others. My experience is people who lack a desire for a spiritual life and relationship with God are already filling what I call the God Hole (the void within us)with something else...false beliefs, sex, relationships, drugs, gambling, greed of money, idolization of others incl celebrities, brands, material items, appearances and Fear(i could go on). These things leave people feeling unforefilled and directionless in life. I have experience a life as one of these people. I did explore many things and ways of life. I have lived agnostic, wiccan, atheist and I have made up my own beliefs when nothing fit the spiritual area of my life.
I know God to be true because I have experience him, the Holy Spirit Himself. I did not ask for it, no one was present, no one "brainwashed" or taught me the experience I had.
I experience a moment of vunerability. I decided to attend a Christmas Eve service about 15 years ago and I experineced God there.
You can't argue with experience. Perhaps I am wrong about you but is it possible your God Hole is an empty void, or is is stuffed full of useless stuff.
I realize I don't have a single clue about you. I poured my heart out to Mandy because I can relate to her experience. I am not sure why you felt the need to comment. It doesn't seem to me she looking to change her beliefs. She trying to figure out if she can have a relationship as a Christian with an atheist.
Judging me doesn't change me or help her but hey I'd love to continue this conversation and get to know you better. I am curious where it would go.
I'm a strongly devoted christian, but my soulmate is a firm athiest..?
