I had a very convincing experience about 9 years ago and since then have had a continuous relationship with God . I was raised by athiests and never had much respect for religion and even less now that i believe in God . I enjoy debating on a variety of different topics so i just wanted to say hi Shy

Welcome, Jenny. Smile

When I was a child going on holiday to Devon we drove into a massive downpour that was so straight down that for a moment the front of the car was in a terrific downpour and the back of the car was completely dry. It was the very edge of heavy rainfall. It was unexpected enough for me to still remember it but also a perfectly normal aspect of weather, I never thought it was anything else.

yes ill always remember it too and if nothing else happened later and it was only that i wouldve dismissed it as nature being natural and just something i never experienced before but i still wouldve remembered it im sure .

3 weeks ago it was raining in my back yard and not raining in my front yard ( it's Arizona so rain is always a big event.) 

I did not ascribe the conditions to any supernatural being.  It's weather.  No gods required.

You do know that there is always an edge to where it is snowing, as otherwise it would have to be snowing all around the world everywhere at the same time?

Not so, necessarily. Snow feathers and scatters at the edge of the weather.
