We Don't Know versus The Burden of Proof

God called, I answered.

I wasn't in a Christian family, God had no part in our lives, and nothing of it was
real or thought important. I have no religious training, and no one telling me
about God, there was no upbringing to draw on for God in my life. It was mainly
the world, drinking, drugs, and all that went with that was how I grew up.

When I became a Christian, my world flipped!

It is you who seems to be walking away after several pages of waffle where you were intent on not engaging my attempts to engage you on the thread topic.

Of course he used Christians, but I didn’t have Christians in my life growing up and when I became a Christian I also didn’t have Christians as friends I ran around with. I did bump into a few who shared a little here and there.

I never prayed for anything, didn’t concern myself to much about good and evil. It wasn’t until I got into a ton of trouble that I prayed. After that it opened up for a for lack of a better word, a dialog between God and I, which led me to Christ.

Even then I hung onto some of my old life for a little while but it died as all the pleasures I used to get dried up.

I should have said "He" because I meant God. With respect to how did the call
manifest itself, hard to put into words, I doubt I can do it justice outside of saying
I knew I was being given a choice. This was not due to peer pressure, I didn't have
any, like I said no one was in my life asking me to choose. All my friends I partied
with none of them were asking me to make a choice.

I knew there was something more to life than what I had, and I wasn't bad off either
I had a job that made great money, I had just gotten out of the navy no bills, partying
all the time, and knew there was more to life than what I had. I did say that off an
on I did run into a Christian here and there, I was completely out of touch with the
possibility of God.

If this hedgehoggery on your part signals that you have come to terms with the fact that we are only sharing personal opinions, then that is to be welcomed.

God is either real and active or not, what caused you to become a Christian?
