I've just come across this on a Christian website - looks like people can be born again via the internet these days. Where did you find the information which prompted you to be born again?
What does it mean to be a born again Christian?"
Quote:Have you made a decision for Christ because of what you have read here? If so, please click on the "I have accepted Christ today" button below.
When I looked at their 'About' page there's this -
About Got Questions Org
Quote:We are Christian, Protestant, conservative, evangelical, fundamental, and non-denominational.
This is very helpful because I don't have to go through their website to get a good idea of what they believe.
PS: What were you before you became a born again Christian?
John 3:3
I was a practicing Roman Catholic but left the church after I got saved

That's kind of the problem: it shows that you're more interested in sources that confirm what you already believe, than sources that honestly reflect the facts.
The more you post here, the more your actions testify to the fact that you just don't care about truth. You only care about believing what you want to believe.
Have you ever thought that perhaps your sources are bias towards atheism?

Admit to yourself that you're feeling those tiny little fingers of doubt, because what you're doing now, by trying to refute everyone else's arguments and providing nothing but ignorance on your part, is harmful to your mental health and wellbeing. It's okay to doubt, it's okay to actually READ what others are writing and look at the links they provide. Because honestly, I don't see how ANYONE can be this blind and ignorant. Well, I suppose I can, I was there. But the difference is, I knew about the doubts, I just kept shoving them aside. Which is why I'm saying I suspect you might have had some doubts yourself. It doesn't make sense that you wouldn't.
Let me use your own book:
1 Thessalonians 5:21 says:
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good; (American Standard Version)
Let all things be tested; keep to what is good; (Bible in Basic English)
But examine everything carefully and hang on to what is good. (Common English Bible)
Using that frame of reference, instead of bombarding everyone with what the bible says, and that it's the divinely inspired word of god, TEST IT. Your own book is telling you to. We have, as have millions of other people too, and it's WRONG. That is the "good" part. Hold onto what is right and good and true. Which comes down to this: Religion is a pile of shit. And reality is GOOD. It's the only healthy thing to believe in, this reality.
I've been testing the Word of God for close to 30 years and it hasn't failed me yet.
