1. I became a Christian (Catholic for me) through Baptism, as I was born from Catholic parents.
2. Being taught that God existed, but I have struggled many times in my 22 yrs of life, once doubted the existence of God, especially throughout my teen yrs.
3. I found "perseverance/patience" to be the strongest virtue in the world, through it I found "wisdom" (although there is one more greater than wisdom, and even kids can earn it, its called "love")....The more I learn, so far, the stronger my faith gets, I have talked to so many of them, old and young, college grad or not, there is only one thing they need in order to believe, and that is to "EXPERIENCE HIM" maybe if God talked to them or show himself, then maybe they would believe....This is possible, and it has happened to me twice, but first, I searched for him and was patient about it....Atheists lack the virtue of "patience & perseverance", they donot seek, thus, they donot find God....Finding God isnt as easy as saying "I think there must be something out in the sky you know what I mean"...You think you believe in God, but you dont believe in God....When tornado comes, earthquake, only a house made out of brick will be left standing, the rest will fall. What will you say then when your mother died of cancer? Will you still say God exist?.....
If only Cris, Xelios, Frencheneez, JamesR,(and other atheists) have the virtue of patience and perseverance, then I know they will find God, unless you seek, you will not find...........In other words "IF ONLY THEY HAVE FAITH, THEN THEY WILL FIND GOD"......
