I recently started to read Holy Bible KJV
It startled me how it provides answers to some questions in my heart so quickly
In the past I've mocked religion for a laugh with my friends, without ever reading it beyond Genesis first 2 pages and some of Quran that was handed to me from a street preacher

What surprises me in the world today, is how mainstream bible bashing has become.
My curiosity is what will be left to guide man if the war on religion itself is won by man.
I observe a world with an ever increasing capability to connect, but I've never felt it more disconnected?
Does anyone on here think that deeply? These aren't the sort of conversations you strike up at a bus stop, but the folks on here are always eager with an opinion, so I'm curious;

How do you feel about religion? And what exposure do you have?

Appreciate any and all answers, please be respectful and answer honestly in the poll.


i took the time to write it out, a condensed version of my testimony.

wrote this on 2/24/2023
7-8 years ago this happened

i spent my life chasing my own lusts.

one day i found my self due to health problems sitting in front of my computer just getting drunk again playing video games.

realizing the capabilities of the computer in front of me it got it in to my head somehow to "find the truth of it all". (this process i suppose went for a year abouts)

with out God even remotely on my mind I began. first thing I researched was money. what it was were it comes from.

after that I began to be filled with ideas. never did i think what a can of worms I had opened and probably why i have something to say on about every topic.

surprisingly some things began to reference back to scripture and i began to research religion (i had some knowledge of scripture at the time). for some reason i didnt think about christianity and i was about to wrap it up and the idea popped into my head "what about chrstianity" "naw" I said "to boring to plain" the idea come back to me. "you have to test it or your not being thorough about the whole thing" and there i was, at the beginning of arguments I would lose to this new found thing, my new ?philosophy?
but I did reply "ok but if it doest prove itself I can go back to drinking with out being pestered about all this stuff"

to my surprise it held up. I repented. later I forgave my trespassers. the alcohol is gone, the smoking is gone, many cumbersome things are gone, and i can still hardly believe it.
............. I will never go back to what I was.

and yet Jesus is alive today and at work on the earth
he is God of all things visible and invisible, and he will heal people today while you deny him, you cannot stop him
praise the Lord therefore


It's cute delusion. Ever see jesus? Can you show me, how do you know it's Jesus? How can you comfirm with any shred of evidence he heals people? Can you see the dead ghosts? Literally anything at all that can be in some shape verified?

Big emphasis on the IF
That would be great if he just shows up like that. Can you summon him bro? I got a few questions.

This thread just shows the ignorance and anger of the masses. Ever so eager to dog pile and throw poop because you dare bring something up that reminds them of their own short comings. They repeat some quirky quip they read online and think they are edgy and original. It’s all boring. I’m glad to see the OP at least being open minded and non judgmental. Can’t say that about a lot of the replies. Being incredibly rude while also virtue signaling about “don’t be a dick”. Bunch of hypocrites prolly angry their parents tried to instill some order in their lives.

All religions are philosophy at their core, and so there are many great philosophical and ethical merits to virtually all religions--at least, the most notable ones. In the same way the people philosophized pre-Bible, so too will we find ourselves post-Bible.
