Originally posted by vistesdWhy did you stop being a believer in Christ? I'm curious, because the exact opposite is happenning to me. When I was young, I used to burn Bibles and hang out with anti-Christian people. Now, at age 44, and with some medical problems (not life threatening) that may change my life in the next few years, I find myself becoming more closer to God and caring less if I die today or in 50 years....it could be the meds that I'm taking for my condition, which I hope will turn out to be temporary, but I still feel the love of God in my suffering...
Well, Chance, I think we probably disagree profoundly across-the-board on the whole religious question—especially since I am no longer a Christian, so I don’t share your beliefs about salvation, for instance, or that the Bible is the “word of God.” I’m not trying to buy my way anywhere; then again, I’m not big on the “eat, drink and merry” thing either—age perhaps… 🙂
