@kellyjay saidDo I think you have "a relationship with God"? No, I do not. Do I think you subscribe to an ideology which has convinced you that you know things about a supernatural being, its instructions for us, and other supernatural phenomena? Yes, I do.
There is nothing you can base that on except the delusion that everyone has the same fake relationship with God you had!
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI accept people can get upset with God typicality over something that they think God wronged them over, as if God owed them a life to their liking only. When the truth is everything that occurs to us is common to man, when it rains the good and evil both get wet. It could be sin, lust, disappointment whatever gets between us and God is in the end meaningless by comparison.
Do you accept there are other reasons people walk away from God, other than being overcome by sin?

@kellyjay saidNot the case with me. I just lost my faith in the Bible's credibility as evidence to support the things that Christians believe about the meaning of Jesus' life and the things they believe about themselves as a consequence.

@kellyjay saidIt's no surprise that you make these assertions given the religious beliefs you have.
Those who actually were filled with God’s Spirit and are over come by sin do not come back their end is set. Not everyone who says Lord Lord actually have come to the Lord. What is real and genuine is not something you can have then deny God is real.

@fmf saidI believe you think that way and that is why you have no idea what God is really like. For had you actually been filled with His Spirit you would never say He isn’t real. Therefore you once claimed to be, but you have never really experienced God in your life. The very best part of all Christianity is God and you missed Him. I just Hope that doesn’t remain true for you!

@chaney3 saidIt is KellyJay who has been using the word "fake", not me. "Being" is the correct word for a sentient lifeform or entity that is not a human. And I have not "bad mouthed" anyone. I don't "miss" believing in God or Jesus, nor do I have any regrets about the time I spent holding Christian beliefs about them.
A real Christian, who lost faith, would likely miss God and Jesus as 'friends', and not bad mouth them as fakes and "beings" that people make up.
@fmf saidIt is not much different than a color blind person believing that they grasp all there is to color. Then one day they put on those glasses that give them the ability to really see colors, reality experienced is different than hearing about it.

@kellyjay saidYou still believe in the ideology that I used to believe in, so I know full well why you are saying things like this.
