Hello - this was not a trick question: I sim[ly said " have you really sought Him out - or do you expect Him to break down the door?"
This question was directed at you, and you alone.

That is your right, and I respect it. However, there are many thousands, myself included who have experienced God's hand in our lives, and no matter what anyone says, that cannot be taken from us. |
I won't personalize this, as I am quite aware of the outcome. I've seen it before and the answer is always something like "you didn't really believe as he welcomes everyone, etc. etc." I won't go down that road.
However, I have always supported anyone's belief if it does them some good, and I support yours, but as I said before, I don't believe and you do. One of us is possibly right, but it doesn't change a thing. Belief is not proof just as not believing is not proof to the contrary.
I am not and have never been trying to take anything away from anyone. I just get a little tired of people shoving it down my throat. Not you specifically, but there are those who try to hit you over the head with religion and I find them annoying. When they get power over others I find them frightening.
I don't know about you, but these threads usually end up a waste of time so I'm outta here.
