I see so many people out here who claim to be atheists and I wonder whether it is because you have had a problem with someone who was important to you, who was religious, and you decided “they are fake so Christianity must be fake.”
I have to tell you, there are alot of people who go to church who are tough to deal with. We see their stories in the news, all the time. Catholic priests who sexually abused their people, Preachers that run away with their secretaries, church people that steal money, etc. And I have tried to fit in at church and found it was somewhat like a puppy going to the food bowl which was surrounded by a group of large dogs. It’s not fun. And, preachers that seem more interested in your money than you. It just goes on and on. But, it’s not about them, it’s about Jesus and I would like to encourage you to try another church, find another friend, do whatever you can to get past all that you have experienced and start fresh with God.
If you can’t go to church, watch the preachers on T.V. men like Billy Graham, Charles Stanley, Joel and women like Joyce Meyer.
I think this verse is for you;
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Atheists, Christ died for us.
He’s waiting for you, too.
