I mean, whenever I would attribute things to God - I would always find an explanation that doesn't require God, afterwards... And then when prayer had no effect - a link was made. Either he didn't love me, or he wasn't actually there.
They call it a time of God's silence. Either that or walking through a desert. If you hold on just enough you will make it to the oasis. lol I remember making a sermon about that.

did anyone here ever feel like cutting a piece of your dick off or removing your clitoris and flying a plane into a skyscraper???? I guess that explains why I never want there to be a god, cause god is a moron. RE: Temporal Atheism....

Of course, our faith waxes and wanes. But because we haven't hardened our hearts against God and His spiritual light, He can always bring us back into His fold. Peace.

Look at all the other gods you have hardened your heart against. There is just as much evidence of their existence as there is of your god's.

Temporal atheism sounds really sketchy. I prefer to not mess with time, very hard to predict the outcome. Annoyingly high-maintenance to get it working as desired. Pain in the ass to constantly be moving back and forth, and to remember what the speed settings are at. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
