Lord knows the Christians on this site don't need more encouragement to proselytize to us unbelievers.

Basically my entire life I have shunned the thought of their being a God and even riddiculed those that believed in God. Let me tell you that my entire life has steadily got worse since the start until I was in a position of desperation and near suicide. I found myself thinking theocratically and I even ended up at my local church in my sad state that I was. Now the whole church thing even now I do not fully believe in, too much corruption for me but what cannot be mistaken is you can meet genuinely loving people there. Anyway since this event I have asked God for help and its not beeen easy but he has certainly delivered. I have asked for help in avoiding addictions and I have asked for God to allow my family less financial strain and God has truely delivered. God has still done it in a way to make sure I understand where it comes from and to what I need to change in my life still but you have to trust me on this there is no doubt God has answered my cries for help now I have decided that I believe in God. I am off to Sunday service tomorrow and I will thank God for their help. Please those people who are too proud to believe, give God a chance.
I cannot explain how I am so sure as it is too personal but you just have to believe me there has been a devine intervention.

Congratulations mate
Always remember though, what you say about the corruption is true. "Religion" is not something God wants you to have. Jesus himself called religious men out on their hypocrisy, and they called him a drunkard and a glutton.
All one has to do, is believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that your sins are forgiven - paid for on the Cross, through sacrifice - and your destiny is sealed, your name will be written in the book of Life, never to be erased.
Truly, if you do believe, you will feel a change, something unexplainable really.. you'll feel conviction, because you understand the difference between right and wrong like never before. But make no mistake, you are forgiven, once and for all.

Becoming a Christian is the easiest thing to do..
Living as a Christian is the hardest thing to do, anyone who says otherwise is lying to your face. Least resistance? Yea, right. The "easy way" is to follow the world.edit on 31-3-2012 by Lionhearte because: (no reason given)
Those who scoff like the poster below who says, 'so you couldn't have done all this by yourself?' They don't understand the supernatural feeling of being carried when you're so low and so weak and scared you just can't do it yourself.

God listens to everybody all God wants is for you to believe in God and the answers to your prayers start to come. Although God is only interested in selfless requests, those bourne out of greed will get you nowhere.
