As a Christian why did you fear what was not in your future, were you demanding more of yourself than God did, could it be He gave you enough faith yet you rejected it as being to little because it did not fit your idea of salvation, yet it fit God's.

Now I see why you feared hell while being a Christian, you did not believe what Christ said. Christ said that the Father desires no one go to eternal punishment. Also free will was okay for you, but you would deny it to those you spoke of above, that seems quite unfair. Those in bold.
GC No actually it was because I told a inappropriate joke about Jesus. Either way it does not matter your method failed and I'm not the only one here that can attest to that.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

How much faith did Christ say that is required? That of a mustard seed. Everyone has been given that amount of faith. " Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
It's odd to me that nobody in the history of mankind has ever moved a mountain.
I disagree, matter of fact I see mountains of doubt being moved all the time.

Evidence is great. I love to find believable evidence to back up the Biblical account, but such findings would please me whether I believed or not. As for my belief, I don't need evidence for that and I actually doubt the veracity of such evidence when someone tries to pawn it off.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable human being.

Unless that mountain of doubt occupied a definite spatial coordinate through which it could be moved, you're equivocating pretty blatantly, not to mention pathetically.
Oh, and even if you're right, you're wrong anyway: "Nothing will be impossible to you," is pretty clearly in favor of literal mountain moving.

Gotta move those mountains of doubt to make room for the mountains of bullshit; they're a lot larger, after all.

This statement is a cop out and you know it. Please retort in a literal sense instead of talking in metaphors or allegory.
