I Believe In God

~No hate please. This is personal experience with the lord.~

I grew up in an atheist family, therefor, I was one myself. When I got to a certain age in my teenage years, I was going through the darkest hours of my life. Depression, physical illness, abuse, all sorts. Then, one night, I was invited to a party. I'd recently had a fight with my best friend, my one closest friend, and I was so close to leaving, and ending it all. But I didn't. I felt a hand on my shoulder, a whisper in my ear, telling me,
"Maddie, darling, it's going to be okay. I am right by your side. You can handle this with me here." And i felt my whole body tingle. I went up to my friend, and using God's words he'd whispered to me, I got my best friend back. I was so happy, I cried, I sung songs in worship, fell to my knees in thanks, read the bible every single night, I do it all for my lord, he has been by my side since forever, it just took me years to realise. The lord is so real. If you haven't found him in your life yet... Don't be discouraged, he is there, he is holding your hand through your every heartbeat. The lord saved my life, and I owe my life to him.
You, are living proof of a living God.

God saved me many times too, although I never truly felt him, I know that he always has watched over me.
Best wishes for abundant blessings for you and your family.

I was brought up as a christian. Those were my darkest days. I didn't experience true happiness until I broke free from christiainty.

@suzie1960 I do not understand how you can say such things, I would very much like to hear your story.

@Silverwings I expect you find it hard to understand because, judging from your groups and posts, you're already well taken in by christianity.

I was like you once, totally committed to believing in "god". I was brought up as a christian and indoctrinated with the idea that "god is good" and everything non-christian is evil, the work of Satan.

I thought I was happy, dedicating my life to "god" and "Jesus" but I found it was all a lie. I studied the bible intently, that's when I started to have my doubts. I found so much of what I'd been taught was not supported by the bible, if fact a lot was contrary to it. I also found the bible, the "perfect word of god", was full of contradictions and factual errors. It was inconceivable that a perfect god would have made so many mistakes.

The "happiness" I thought I had wasn't real, it was all designed by religious leaders to keep the peasants under control. Some of the christians who post here demonstrate just how effective that deception has been.

When I raised my doubts with other christians, their reaction convinced me I needed to get out. People I thought were friends, all "peace and love", suddenly turned on me. They started by "trying to help me back to god" but, when that didn't work, their efforts turned to threats and even physical assault.

It was only when I finally broke free that I was able to find true happiness. Maybe, with luck, you can break free and find true happiness too.
