I love god with all my heart, and am a full out christian... but is there truly a god? I believe yes but no one knows for sure unless you've gone to heaven or hell but then you wouldn't be here, right? So, maybe you have felt his presence? I know i have but no one will believe you unless you have proof. There are many complications to this "god" people talk of but weather you believe in him or not the only way to go to heaven is to believe in him even when you have your doubts and to never give up on him, even if his plan is not yours.

My inspiration for this piece of writing was god himself. Well i know that no one will believe me but i had a dream and was told to tell about my god and try to help people into this faith.

“The dye has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, or back away. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future secure. I’m done with low living, sight walking, small planning, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living and dwarfed goals: I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, positions, promotions, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk with patience, live by prayer and labor with power. My face is set, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and spoken up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of the lord Jesus Christ.” - African martyred for Christ.

I know what you mean. Great article! I hate when people tell me God's not real cause we have no proof. Well we have no proof he isn't real either.

And the fact that a book like the Bible could stay popular and grow more popular more then one thousand years after it was written is a miracle and I think God's behind that.

I agree with all three of you. I'm a Chris.tian as well and, people bash me and think I'm shallow because of what I am. There's days I ignore them, but there's at times I correct them of their wrong doings against me. Overall ilovemath=), very nice on the article but just needs some editing.

I know exactly what you mean! That's how I feel when I go to church and spend a little time in the sanctuary, and people call me crazy to be happy to go to church!

I know that i've felt God's prescence and it's not something you can just makeup, it's beautiful and wonderful. You just forget about everything except him. It doesn't matter if your face is all big and puffy because you cried while you were praying, or how rediculous you look in front of everyone around you. When im doubtful i remember those moments and the doubting stops. It's the most amazing feeling ever.

There are too many different sects for my taste when it comes to religion. Really, who's to say that one person or group is totally right. For all we know, the Buddhists have everything figured out or those who believe in Mother Earth. For now, I'm simply agnostic.

This is a strong piece. I think you should edit it, or have it edited, for the sake of proper grammar and easier reading. But you make some good points and I liked the piece very much. Also, I should tell you I love math too.

I am a full blown christian too and i've had my full blown doubts also but I realized that when i was living of the world I very rarely asked questions. I always jsut had faith that things would just happpen. So then I asked myself why can't I pu that same faith in God. The beauty of faith is beleiving WITHOUT seeing lean not unto your own understanding but trust in him fully I don't think it matters what peopl can and can't prove to other people becuase that's the whole point of faith in the first place, we're se out to save people but not to fight for the holy spirit--I think he can handle himself. Once you plant that seed into someone God handles the rest. You just have to finish working out your own fith rather thn trying to fix other people's.

Having complete faith in something is hard, but you need to believe in something. I'm glad you're a christian!

I'm an atheist. Truly, believing in something is hard. Especially with sciece and people that constantly try to prove you wrong. The only way to keep strong is by having faith even in the tough timews.
