akong kahimtang as an atheist

[janrey1986]

---

eventually one will lose the motivation/inspiration to seek for knowledge and answers. because in religion, the answers are given and the questions discouraged.

lahi lng jud ta ug family background sir, bcoz sa amoa mn gud, we are encouraged to ask questions para mapasabot sa mga nag una ngadto sa mga bag-ong tubo ang mga butang nga nkapalibog namo, and to deepen our understanding about why things and events occur..
but the more questions i asked, nag anam ug ka complicate ang knowledge nga akng gi absorb, and most of the time, mao na hinuon ni nkapalibog nko..the more nko nakita nga layo pa kaau akng understanding kng unsa jud ang matuod.. and that's the rison why i cling to the "God" i believe in..bcoz para nko, i'm not ridy to jump into a conclusion of what indeed is the truth.. many times i attempted and tried hard not to call on my "God", but to no avail..

since i was an atheist, mas active nako into looking for information, logical explanations, mas mag huna2x nako sa akong every action because i dont believe that forgiveness a privilege. i believe since then that there are no going back and this is the only life i have and i have to make sure that i will treat the person well the first time around. pero d man ko perpekto magkasayop man sad pero as much as possible ana jd. kay katong mutoo pako mag salig rako kay ma forgive rani all that stuff nia wala ni sa bible all that stuff. karon I use reason behind my actions dli standard sa uban tawo or unsa panang libroha

what tells you nga dapat you "will treat the person well"? is it really important to do good in this life? why is it so?. if at the end, it's all for nothing?.

clarify lng ko, you dont have to be correct to win you just have to beat your opponent's argument no matter how wrong, you just have to be better

does being speechless mean that the other one is better?.. what if wla jpun ni admit ang other party nga insakto ang someone sa iyang opinion?. unya nihunong nlng ky gisamukan.. that's d rison why i said this "i thought man gud, you win an argument kng ang imong ka argumento nakabig sa imong punto"..

TS, you mentioned that you were a "Christian" for 15 years, were you really a Christian then?

To know Jesus Christ is something deep and with a strong hold. It is not something like being in a "group" and then later decides to quit and not to be part of it.

To know Jesus is to know yourself and your standing before God. A life with Christ is more precious than anything in this world.

I don't know your story as to why you decided to not believe, but I encourage you to talk to Jesus....He is the way, the Truth and the Life!

God bless you TS!

@Starr77: I think ang gipasabot ni TS is "Christian" siya for 15 years for the reason nga he was raised and practicing as a "Christian". Siguro, you are questioning his faith during that time.

Anyway, TS di jud na problema imo belief as long as di lang ka manghilabot sa belief sa uban. It's all about respect.
