you may think me fool then...
I used to be as scientific and pragmatic as one could get. But God really won me, it's incredible!
I don't know exactly what happened for you to lose your faith in such a dramatic way, but if you'd like a very serious and scientific view on the christian beliefs, you may want to try:
http://www.answersingenesis.com
That's an online, christian, scientific community, with very serious researchers, doctors and PhDs working to defend our faith.
Of course, I have found by my own experience that facts sometimes are not enough for a person to change his path.
But let me say something (sorry if I am preaching, I used to want to study theology
)
- do you really believe you are the result of pure chance? that all your life is a pure illusion? cause if you do, what do you think of death? is it terrifying or just a deliverance for you?
- one friend of mine saw that movie A.I., and he defined us as "incredibly complex algorithms put together by evolution". Would you say you are that?
Can you really look around you, look at your hands, command your finger to move and then realize how incredible it is to know you EXIST... but toss it all away for the sake of a simpler, minimalistic look at life?
- (true story) I was once helping a blind man to take a bus (it was a 247, a blue bus), but the damn driver just skipped the bus stop. And I was like "dammit he went away just like that??", and the blind man said to me "sometimes that blue bus does that, let's wait for the green one, the 232".
And then I asked him: "btw, were you born blind?" and he said "yes". And then I asked "what are colors to you?" and he replied "they are just something people tell me that exist, but I cannot see... I know the apple is red, and that my hair is white now, but it used to be brown... but that's just what people tell me".
And then I said "do you believe in God?" and he said "yes, of course", and I asked him "but don't you think God was unfair to you by letting you be born blind?", but he replied "no, of course not, I exist thanks to him, and this is an experience that I thank God for... every single day.".
Maybe that SUPER NATURAL thing is only something we don't have the sense to know it exists... but it does.
We don't change reality with our views: the truth is the truth. And God has spoken to me (and specially my father) in such unbelievable ways that I wouldn't dare deny Him.
Ok it may seem just a lot of crap to you but well... I just had to write this.
Oh yeah... and btw... Children of Bodom rocks.
