Theists, do you go through stages, where it feels like God doesn't exist or you don't have strong faith in God?

Time to time.....

I used to... Then I realised it's because he's not real.

Possibly.
I mean, whenever I would attribute things to God - I would always find an explanation that doesn't require God, afterwards... And then when prayer had no effect - a link was made. Either he didn't love me, or he wasn't actually there.

They call it a time of God's silence. Either that or walking through a desert. If you hold on just enough you will make it to the oasis. lol I remember making a sermon about that.

Temporal Islam...........


did anyone here ever feel like cutting a piece of your dick off or removing your clitoris and flying a plane into a skyscraper????


I guess that explains why I never want there to be a god, cause god is a moron.

Of course, our faith waxes and wanes. But because we haven't hardened our hearts against God and His spiritual light, He can always bring us back into His fold. Peace.

Or the 'dark night of the soul'. That's when I feel closest to Him. It's the good times when I start to neglect Him.

Look at all the other gods you have hardened your heart against. There is just as much evidence of their existence as there is of your god's.

Temporal atheism sounds really sketchy. I prefer to not mess with time, very hard to predict the outcome. Annoyingly high-maintenance to get it working as desired. Pain in the ass to constantly be moving back and forth, and to remember what the speed settings are at.

I thought you had to be bitten by an atheist to transform into one.
