i think your wrong in what you say. if you knew about the Christian god you would follow him and stay with him because of his attributes and his message and what he does and did for the people.

Like believing in Bigfoot can be really exciting and can fulfill your time like anything else. That's why there are people who go into the forests all worked up about Bigfoot and are convinced they certainly heard them and even saw them for few seconds. Especially when they mix other things like missing people with Bigfoot and conclude this is one of the evidence that Bigfoot exists because people go missing every day and can't be found so it must be Bigfoot.
And that's why it's alluring to close yourself in your room and listen shows like c2c am where they talk about these things as if they are so real that they're just around the corner. If you only watched the sky long enough you'd see saucers and if you went deep enough into the forest you'd defeneatly hear Bigfoot. But then again sooner-or-later you would have to leave your room and encounter that majority of people don't hold these things to be true. You'll be weird. So you'll have to resort to beliefs that there are evil organizations that hold the truth; that delude people that they're not seeing saucers. Because these aliens want to enlighten humans and yet humans won't accept them.
Unlike religion where you can fill your head with nonsense, like "Man in the sky made whole universe in 6 days" or "There are flying invisible humans around us that take care of us" and you'll find enough people to applaud you for it. Although you'll still have to resort to similar "explanation" of evil forces influencing people so that they can't see what you think you see and feel what you think you feel, because they don't exist.
think about the maintenance of the planet and the solar system. it requires someone to watch over it and maintain everything. like near death experiences. evil in the world. good and evil. morals and intelligence. these are things that came from god.
Wut?

This is a courageous post, so thank you for posting this, and here, no less. I want to address, as a Protestant Christian, that last point - the Bible is very clear on a lot, but there are some areas that are up for interpretation, and everyone has a different background with a lot to offer. People's views change over time, as my own have - I was a staunch atheist once upon a time. I know what it is to be in your shoes. And I can say that where I am, things are better now.
Tell you what, I'm a new YouTuber, why don't you start with my intro video Moderator Notice link removed for violation of 30/30 ) and then from there you can check out some of my more fun videos to get to know me, and maybe even my more serious videos? I plan on posting a video Friday talking about the problem of video, and I posted a video yesterday talking about the tragedy at Las Vegas. I think you could benefit from watching my videos, and I will DEFINITELY be answering a lot of tough questions that many people in your shoes have. Sorry for the font change, but I hope the point got across nonetheless, and that something in my channel helps you in your walk with God. [/font][/size]

Bumping a thread that hasn’t seen activity in about three weeks just to pimp your YouTube channel, link included, which violates our rules.
Making a real good first impression there, guy.

It always makes me laugh my balls off when one of you shills says "oh yeah, I was an atheist too, hurr durr derpy derp". If you were a genuinely mentally sound and rational person, you'd never have turned to theism, so all you're doing is giving us reason to doubt both your sincerity and intelligence. Maybe think about that approach; I would say it comes across as condescending but it gives you away as too big a jackass to bother giving you the slightest credit. If you end up not lasting long here, I won't be surprised at all. You won't be making a profit off anyone here who's worth a damn.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

I doubt they even return to respond. This was merely to get clicks for their YouTube channel.

The two most famous leads on teh interwebs:
1) I'm not a racist but. . . (incredibly racist comment)
2) I use to be an athiest [sic] but. . . (goofy born again X-tian stuff)

OK. Are we allowed to disrespect everyone else's god?
Or is that also disrespectful because in your mind there should only be one god?
So basically, we should just walk on eggshells around you ...
God makes every believer special ... And I mean that in the snowflake type of special.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Hmm, okay, how would you suggest I approach that, then? I'm genuinely curious.
As for what you had to say - I would encourage you to really examine some of your own biases and approach. There are a lot of people in this world who do not agree with your viewpoint, and judging someone based on what they believe, however fundamental it is to who they are, is tricky territory. I find myself guilty of it at times, myself, so I understand where you're coming from. With that being said, I would encourage you, no matter how much you disagree with someone's views, to not base their worth on whether or not you agree with them. As someone who's going into the medical field, I know a lot of other Christians and people of other religions going into the medical field or who are already in the field, and most of us don't wear big crosses to make it obvious who is and isn't religious. As such, you may owe your life or your recovery to someone who's religious, but I hope it doesn't come to that in any form.
Clearly, there is a bit of a past with you on this topic - what is your past with this, if I may ask? Obviously, only tell me what you feel comfortable disclosing: I may be able to relate.
