i was a hard core atheist back then. i ridiculed the bible because of its "inconsistencies". i thought religious people strayed away from the truth the farthest.
its the complete opposite
i read books like the satanic bible from Aton lavey and the god delusion from Richard Dawkins and thought i knew what the world was.
the devil is clever. i was swayed by his deceptions but in the end god wins. my search for the truth was pure and god showed me the way. i asked Jesus for forgiveness for i saw right through the devils plans.

I don't understand your faith. I'm not going to criticize it; I just don't understand it. My family is all Christian. They clearly get something deep and meaningful from it, but I never have. I've always struggled with wondering if there's something wrong with me or if Calvinism is correct and I'm just not one of the elect. I'm not an atheist or even agnostic. I believe in a god and I know demons exist. I just have no personal connection to the Christian faith.
Calvinism is NOT correct. Jesus said, "God so loved the world that gave his one and only Son, that WHOEVER believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." He did not say some but WHOEVER and that includes YOU, if you believe in Jesus and want him as your personal Savior.
Precisely! Don't let man's religion get in the way of your personal relationship with Christ.
