Why I used to be an Atheist...

Yes, I used to be an Atheist. I used to believe that this all was fake. Christianity could not possibly be real because there was so much "scientific proof" against it.

Jesus, he was just a man who could of possibly lived 2000 years ago.

God, some guy who lived in the sky... hahah. It made me laugh.

Church was a system of control that wanted to keep me from having a good time. No alcohol, no drugs, no sex, no pornography, no swearing, no fun...

The very thought of church bothered me and I honestly did not want anything to do with it. When my best friend invited me to his church I declined several times.

Eventually I began to research Christianity and Jesus the person. I found compelling evidence that led me to believe that it could be real. Then I researched the other side and other religions. Atheism just used tired and old ways to disprove God and Jesus. Evolution and "common sense" are the best they to have to display their "truth." Then when I tried to look for evidence of other religions they did not offer any. Rather they just said you have to have faith. So I began to look at Christianity as the possible truth in the world but it still was not right.

To be more exact I was not right. I had been going to church for awhile but I was not right. I mean I excepted Christ but I was not perfect. As a believer I still stole, did drugs, drank, I still sinned. It pushed me away from Jesus because I was not any different. My problem was not with Jesus but with myself. I began re-think everything again...

"How could Jesus love me?"

"I am supposed to be a Christian, why can I not do this right?"

"If I could get this junk out of my life then I could have a relationship with Christ."

"I cannot be a Christian because I do this."

Guys that "Christian logic" is wrong. Christianity is not religion but a relationship. When you become Christian, God wants you to build a relationship with Him and his son, Jesus. In this relationship He wants you to work with Him to get that crap out of your life.

I believed in Jesus for 3 years before I honestly tried having a relationship with him. If you feel like Jesus cannot except you then I pray that you ask someone for help. He can and He will you just got to ask.

Seek forgiveness not perfection.
