When I was 8, I was at the beach with my dad. I was playing in the sea on a body board. I didn't notice that the tide was rather quickly pulling out, dragging a lot of sand with it from under my feet. I only realised how far out I was when my dad called to me to come back but I couldn't. I panicked, and as the tide started going out even further, I too could not stop myself from going with it. I was terrified. I remember that day quite clearly. I remember I started to say the Hail Mary, both in my head and trying to say the words even though I could hardly speak as the water filled my mouth and I was further thrown into panic. I remember praying with all my light and reaching out to God and Mary. I also remember being washed up on shore. I was saved.
I am now an atheist. So I genuinely would like an answer - if life is mapped out for you by god and he knows what will happen, why did he save me only for me to become an atheist, and by extension send me to hell? That seems neither right not fair and certainly not a god I would want to believe in.
