He did believe that god existed at the time and has since come to his senses and stopped believing in fairy tales. What do you not get about that?
Nothing, I am able to tell when God speaks to me, I try to always separate my emotional feelings from my spiritual experiences. I want to know when it is God speaking and when I might want my desires to come to fruition. Christians must be careful about what they desire and what God really wants. One thing a Christian can count on, God will almost always put them into something they are not comfortable with, I know this from experience.
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.
