You may have noticed, that I am a self proclaimed skeptic. Honestly, I've never had the patience to read any of your posts until now. I don't doubt your sincerity on the issue, but I do doubt the existence of God. What all your examples show, is that in each case, the person WANTED to find God. Did they actually find a divine being? The power of suggestion is a powerful thing. If you want to find it, chances are, you will, whether or not it actually is legitamite.

Furthermore, you have acknowledge what God can do if one repents. BUT, what about all the injustices that occur in the world to innocent people. Would the sort of God you speak of allow such atrocity for them?

If you only quoted the bible just a tad less (or better yet not at all), I think the people of this forum would let down their defences. Remember, atheists can be just as close minded as theists, so once they see - the bible says this: etc, etc... That's an instant turn off. They think (and I thought) "here's another fundamentalist fanatic." You don't need the bible to get your point across. On a forum like this it hampers your credibility. I need to know that the thoughts being expressed in the post are indeed yours (more like this one) and not the bible's.
