A honest letter from the poster child of skepticism to Christians: I found the answer??

It's definitely something to be encouraged.

Indeed.............

Though this is a far late reply, I still read the OP and the bulk of the handful of comments. Either you’re left the forum or stuck with atheism/agnostic.

I was raised up predominantly in Christianity and a combination of Appalachian folk and indigenous beliefs. However, one thing my family had almost always been adamant about except for a few years, is that I am free to choose what I want. Now obviously I could not choose to engender myself significantly or anything wicked or criminal as kid. But I was free to be myself.

I’ve always been a big reader. Came in top three my entire life in school when it was about reading books and taking the tests on them. I have always been just as intrigued by nonfiction as fiction. In my family talk of science and faith went hand in hand. But it was compartmentalized. My questions of harmony was mostly swept under a rug as “it’s a mystery and we don’t know”.

Anyways jump past all of that. I don’t think there is any evidence for god or any supernatural being. Not anything concrete anyways. Definitely no evidence for intelligent design. Yet, I choose to have faith. You mentioned being worried about the right path… I think any path that is focused on love and justice is fulfilled by Christ. Omnism x Christianity. Zzzzz ablut to sleep. I’m waking up at 230am and it’s 740pm.

You should check out my thread “Evidence To Be Seen.”

Something came up that I need to add to that thread. The blood on the Shroud of Turin was tested. Two findings:

1. The blood is still alive.
2. The blood has only 23 chromosomes.

Normally, a person has 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. If this does not qualify as concrete evidence for the supernatural, what would?

One could use some of the famous arguments that give reasonable grounds for the existence of God, but there are ways to counter them all and in fact, it isn’t what believing is about.

May I encourage you to investigate Christianity, I'm biased, but one has to start looking somewhere.
Please don't go by tv evangelist.
Pease look into whether Christianity is true.
May I recommend the philosophical site Defending Biblical Christianity | Reasonable Faith
Or the investigational journalist Lee Stobel and his book the Case for Christ.

Christianity is based on events that happened in history, it's not dependant on dream or missions but on historical facts.

Please investigate them.

“… this resistance feels bitter to me. Why is it still calling me?”

The world, under the sway of Satan, always calls. The devil is constantly seeking to devour mankind (1 Peter 5:8).
