Not even when I was five, and they made us pray at school. I just sat there thinking, "what's going on?" I was not an evil child. I have always been the best behaved student (and as such the most bullied) and consider myself a good person. Still not enough for even a whiff of God.

I can't believe something before I have a reason to believe it. No one can, if they are being honest. It's just that the reason given is rarely the real one.

If God wants to communicate with me, he should be more than capable of doing it in a way I can't possibly misinterpret. And if he doesn't, well that's his problem.

The fact that I have noticed a general negative correlation between religiosity and niceness in people is not exactly winning me over either.

Could be it's not the right time yet, God knows when the right time is for each person and will through the Holy Spirit bring conviction upon your heart. Then maybe you've hardened yourself to God and want be able to hear His calling through the Holy Spirit. Some thoughts on why you find yourself without a perceived call from God. Don't let the negative actions of others dilute your ability to hear. Christians are not perfect and never will be and, it's not proper to judge Christians by a standard no one can live up to.

If someone's heart has hardened too much to hear him, he must have run out of time to do something. He's the one who wants to have a relationship with us, while we can do just fine with or without him, so it's up to him to make first contact.
