If the former: Get an evaluation. Takes an hour, maybe $50 or so, and it'll bring you peace of mind and closure on the entire topic, thus allowing you to truly move on past religion.
If the latter: You're a tool.
lol...I feel your logic appeals to the ego's insecurities and is not necessarily truth-seeking.

Have you been able to make sense of it to yourself? Do you think about it often? Did it change your life? Sorry for the million questions; but I dont get to ask this of anyone and i'm really curious.

I've even tried praying with an open mind and reading the bible, just to test if the fundies might be correct. Nothing. I don't believe in deities of any kind, and more specifically, I'm 99.99999999999% (repeating, of course) certain that an omnipotent, omniscient god as touted by christianity doesn't exist.
reading the bible and praying was also disastrous for me. i have found answers to most of my experiences but there is one remaining that i have not resolved.
