Up on request, here is my story ;)

I did nothing with my religion until I met my ex-gf about a year ago.
Her family and herself are strict Christians and go to church several times a week.
After I met her I started to believe again (things you come in contact with make you follow usualy )
I did so without much feeling, I mostly did to satisfy her and her family.
When she broke up with me I was devasted! And I felt like, screw God and the whole religion.
Until one night I just felt I had to pray, dont ask me why or how I got that feeling, but I just did.
Normaly when you close your eyes you still see images of things you remember from past day, etc right? Or blurry or snow, or whatever? It is never completly black right?
Atleast it never was for me.
When I started to pray it did that time for me, closed my eyes and it got totaly black (and no I didn't pass out :p) and I just started telling what was bothering me (that is pretty rare since I hardly talk about stuff like that)
But I swear it felt like someone was listening to what came out of my heart!
Since then there has not been one night that I haven't prayed. That moment is the moment I was sure there is more then just us humans!
Being religous is more to me then just "Oh there is a God, let's go to church just to be sure", for me it is about all the good things you can do for other people and take moment to realise how good we have it in our lives.
We still have family and we got people who care, we got food, we got a roof, stuff like that.


I heard many stories about miracles that can not be explained, so why couldn't it be?
My ex-gf was verry ill as a child, her fever kept on rising. No doctor could explain it or stop it. It was only a mather of time before she would have died.
But just as suddenly as it started it was gone. No doctor could explain that either. Nothing could be found. Just an example, I got may more stories if you guys are intrested
Im still no expert since I only started to believe myself a few months ago, but I believe alot can be found in the Bible. I know alot of things could not have been explained in that time, things we can explain now. And that alot of things are exaturated but there I believe there is a core of truth in it.

It is a verry hard thing to discus and it is a wonderfull thing to imagine about
But I believe it is something we all have to decide for ourselves

Religion is not something you can force upon someone, it's something that you must believe in for yourself. Not for others.

I firmly believe that the cause of death of one of my relatives was God.

Really? You don't blame the crocodile or the virus/disease/gunman that killed your relative?

Either way their time has come and they are in a better place right now.

I recently had a huge addiction to heroine. Every time I did it I heard a voice inside my head telling me not to do it. This is not the life I want to live. I to this day believe this was our lord trying to help me get my life on the correct path. :)

To this day I haven't touched it and i'm living a strong healthy life. Thank you god!

Anyone have stories to share?


I was be able to toke my weed and gain happiness and pleasure through his creation, i would like to thank the lord for creating such thing called marijuana.

People made marijuana didn't they? God merely provided you humans with the knowledge to come up with the idea of drugs. He hasn't provided us with the knowledge of living on another planet other than Earth yet.

God has helped me by putting ganja on earth.
If it was not for that, I would be nowhere in life.

i just recently came to Christ.
i was an atheist for more then half of my life.
my life was going down. i began to get an addiction to pain killers and alcohol (at 14)
i got arrested at school. got expelled.
the only school that would accept me was called "christian life academy"
i began to learn of the works. i was skeptical. i didn't want to live, having all these felony charges and such at such a young age.
i had bad depression, so i tried to kill myself.
and...something weird and amazing happened. i had a hallucination. a dark figure came into my room. i got up. and dropped to my knees.
he put his right hand on my shoulder said
"Fear not, i am the first and the last. Write the things which thou have seen, and the things which are, and the things that shall be thereafter"
i had no idea what that meant. i asked my principal about it a couple weeks later. he smiled and turned to the book of revelation. found a similar quote.
i had never looked into the bible. and i was astonished. i figured. i cant do this with my life, and perhaps that was a sign?
as i looked more into it, i began to believe. people seemed a lot happier, everything was a lot more optimistic.
that school was the best thing that happened to me. it was just a tight knit family of 50 that would accept you with open arms
regardless of who you are or what you did in the past.
