Rational defense of Christianity?

[Sillysheep]

As silly as it may sound it is only through the heart that it is possible to find God. A great atheist CS Lewis, looked into his heart, and saw something that he could not deny. He became one of the greatest christian authors, and everyone knows him from the books about Narnia

Heart is a muscular positive displacement pump.
Narnia: children's book by a human author about an imaginary land. Fitting.

I know that we usually refer to God as He. But I believe that God really is much more than that. If He was only a He, How could God's Holy Spirit whisper love into my heart, at the same time that The Spirit whispers love into your heart. I am afraid that religion and churches through history have done a great job of hiding God. We have been told that we are sinful and ugly, and unworthy. How, if that was true, would God send His son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He did it because He loves us so much more than any human is capable of. His love is not present in a lot of Christians I am afraid. Christians need Him just as much as anyone else. A "christian" without Christ is not a happy person.
I was shocked by His love, when He whispered in my heart one stormy night. I felt things that I first tried to stop. I misunderstood when it says that God is Holy. I thought that it was sitting pretty in church, with a tie and shoes. Suddenly I realized what a miracle God did when he created me, and loved me so indescribably. It was an amazing experience when I felt God's spirit whisper to me, so that I even felt it physically.

Funny. I enjoyed and deserved that one. When I say heart I don't mean our physical heart, but who we truly are deep inside. We are not a body controlled by a brain. What we really are is invisible. It is our soul
