God knew at 7 you were not ready to understand and you were probably not ready when you gave up. If I remember correctly you said you were young when you decided God wasn't real. I have 3 years on you and I find God and his word essential for my life day by day. Maybe one day God will come calling again, I hope you are listening then.
Godscreated, I will never be ready to worship a god that apparently would rather torture "sinners" for eternity than peacefully coexist with them or simply cause them to pass into nothingness.
The fact that you consider the word of such a god "essential for [your] life day by day" makes you into someone whom I most definitely do not want to emulate. Hopefully one day you will gain sufficient moral courage to cast your vile faith away, grow the fuck up, and claim your humanity.
By claiming God as my savior I have my humanity. Better that you were to emulate Christ, I'm unworthy of such. That of coarse would take a commitment to Him.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
