I was against Christianity for aboout 5 years. I started going the Christian church that I attend now because I loved the word that was being preached. I never shouted or anything like that, it was more like motivation. However, one day I felt something that just cannot be explained. It was then and only then that I realized I was on the right path. I've been backtracking a lot lately smh but I'm going to start putting in a better effort to do better. |
Im kind of confused did you have an epiphany about ur own faith?

you can believe something in your heart of hearts... learn something new and decide that you were wrong.
but i guess that's maybe why i'm not religious. if everything should ~come from within~ and i have to ignore my own logic and reason...

but thats all that faith is. no logic. no reason. just pure feeling. i think thats beautiful about religions.
but im atheist because i cant swallow that. |
This might be true for some who follow a religion. And I don't think there is anything inherently wrong about that, but it's not true for all. Some people enjoy philosophical proofs of God's existence and what not. One of my high school teachers lived for that kinda stuff. |
so you would describe faith as having to do with logic/reason? i wouldn't. |
That's not what I said at all. My point was you can't really lump all religious people as having no logic and no reason just faith.

It amuses me how some people believe in an invisible man in the sky, but don't believe some things that actually make sense and can be proven.

You know Im glad were having this conversation, I guess lm trying to figure who I am as a person, and trying to figure out what I believe in and stuff is something I must, follow my heart instead. I guess I respect the Christianity lifestyle and especially Muslim for my father is one and I HIGHLY respect Muslim religion. |
The great thing is, you can live whatever sort of lifestyle you want and not have to put a religion label on it at all. You're doing the right thing which is figuring out what you believe. And you can't figure that out without having different experiences (like attending church). Live how you want to live and the label will come (or it won't, you might figure out you don't need or want that).
