| SmoothCriminal said: I actually left Christianity for a while. I just didn't feel a connection to God anymore. Then, about 2-3 months ago, I my family went through a pretty big crisis, my dad had a stroke. After that my dad seemed much more in tune with God than ever before. At first I thought that he was just excited about not dying, but then I began to feel a connection to God as well. Now I'm back as a devout Roman Catholic Christian.
As bad as his stroke was, it really brought my family closer together, and closer to God. |
I find it interesting how some people have this connection, while others don't. Maybe it is how some people's minds are wired. I personally don't see this level of connection myself. I went from Roman Catholic in youth, to agnostic when I was 18. I am now coming up on 25 years of walking through the Christian faith, trusting I would find something. I look at my life now, and have to say it is worse than it was 25 years ago. I am not out of the Christian faith now, but getting there. I am still hanging on to see if things will turn around. I could see soon I will likely just move on and focus on other things. I just don't have that connection. Not sure why some do though. I do hope in all this, I don't display an arrogance people tend to have when they walk away, and will tend to just not think on things. It is like a bit of bitterness, basically mocking and ridiculing some things people find sacred. People need to keep in mind that if God is a human creation, then it is humans themselves doing the evil. Hard to blame something that isn't there for doing evil. People don't yell at the tooth fairy or easter bunny for all sorts of evil.
