Just for a moment consider this. People do amazing things for many reasons. It's not anything externally doing those things: it's them. They're doing it.
I've "experienced" what you have. And I can logically explain every single experience I had, every prayer, every tear, every feeling of well-being: to being myself, with no god there whatsoever. Every emotion I went through was for all intensive purposes real because I made them real. If I go out into public looking for a particular thing I will see it everywhere. Much like one can live every day looking for signs from god, and see them everywhere. Every "act of god" in my life was just life: it's convoluted to think that god shifts people's hearts, and actions, and the world around us: just so something can happen in our favor. Especially when not a single thing is shifted for those who really need it. For those who die without it.
I see what God does for me and I know Mr_Dew7 does also, I bet like myself he sees what God does for others and rejoices in them, this is what Christianity is about, others. You must have missed that when you went to church, you seem to also express a great deal of emotionalism to Christianity, I'm beginning to think you may not have studied scripture very much. It's especially awesome when I see God doing for those who are truly in need, and believe me I've seen it many times and was move by God's compassion.
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.
