Former Atheist
I am Born Again my friiends and I needed to share... I am shaking and crying as I write this so pardon my grammar.
Wow, I can't believe what is happening to me... No wait... I do believe what is happening to me. My word I feel like the weight of all creation and that which it imbibes has been lifted off of my shoulders and cast into the pit of despair of which I thankfully leave behind... or Left Behind lol!
So I've spent the last year coming to terms with my truest and dearest beliefs, that is, beliefs that I did not hold but that were there and not necessarily true but factually correct. You are looking at a reformed atheist my friends (it sickens me to say the word let alone type it). And to all the children out there and all the families who may read this rest assured that that while there are "phases" in ones life, there is only one path to Salvation and it isn't on the back of a monkey or study of the "ecological role of protozoa in the transfer of bacterial and algal production to successive trophic levels" (yeah, whatever that means) but a 5 tiered rainbow I like to call the escalator to God.
I should mention this path was not easy for me. To walk down this lonely road of misery into the arms of my true friends was a task fit only for Jesus but that I humbly accepted and boldly attempted. Of course I would not be so presumptuous to presume I could even compare to Christ our Savior, but it was the only way I could fully communicate the travels I endured. For anyone that doesn't know what it's like not to believe... I take that back... Of course I believed...I was trying to be cool and hip (there was also this girl I liked... she was a liberal democrat...blech..had to hide my Republican roots in that crowd) and thought that some stuff made sense but really I was just making mistakes like thinking and letting myself be taken in by their dogma and wild assumptions.
A few of them got me playing Dungeons and Dragons too! Let me tell you I didn't think it was all that bad, but then I started having nightmares and my imagination was set loose to do it's own thing. THAT was scary. Glad I had the Bible and healthy dose of truth to gradually come back to. It's beautiful words lulled me into a comfort zone I hadn't known since childhood.
I told my friends yesterday that I was done with them. I told them how I hadn't been as "atheistic" as they would have liked me to be, and that I was primarily hanging out with them to get to know this girl, but that they couldn't see right through me proved that Jesus was looking out for me even though I had strayed from his good graces and that they were being foolish. I invited them to come to there senses but they just looked at me all weird and scary like they were gonna kill me and I though atheists are always talking about how tolerant they are well I guess I showed them.
I am so happy to be here. It's good to be around people that think the same and know the truth beyond our world past the universe and into Gods loving arms. I'll see what kind of response this blog gets and write more if you want!
