Strangest Occurrence While You Were Religious. For Atheists by Martinez19(m): 7:09pm On Sep 21, 2017
I remember when I prayed as christian, while I was getting up from sleep the next day, I had a voice saying that it will grant me the answer to my prayers. shocked I thought it was the holy spirit. But later, I discovered that people do hear voices when falling asleep or waking up. How did the voice know I prayed for something? Later on after many many months, I became an atheist thanks to hopefulLandlord, HardMirror and hahn. kiss

I was heavily involved in churches, I saw fake prophecies, hypocrisy and I questioned the doctrines of christianity. What shakedown me was that miracles don't exist and faith doesn't work. My pastor said he is no longer going to wear his glasses because he has used faith, days later he went back to his glasses and nobody said anything or even noticed.

I got to know that church is a business. I started researching atheists comments on nairaland, Richard Dawkins videos and atheists memes. That was how I broke free.

I really wish people would understand that the strongest force the devil use to decieve people is by playing with their thoughts and imaginations.... I wish someone can go through 2Cor. 10 v. 4-6

I embraced facts not dogma. I researched and used reasoning, that's why I left.

The trick that the devil used to enter Eve's mind and made her doubt God is the same truth the devil is still using to decieve other believers and make them turn away from God. The devil almost succeeded in getting me turn away from God until I got this revelation.

Whenever thoughts such as:
1. "Did God really say?"
2. "Is God really true?"
3. "Does God really exist?"
4. "Would God really care?"
5. "Can Go really help?"... Are planted in your mind, then the devil has succeeded in planting his device in your heart.

When the devil succeeded in planting this kind of thought in Eve's mind and made her doubt God, the fall of man began.

When I was almost lost into the world of disbelief, I (by the Grace of God) got understanding of the devil's pattern.

Before then I thought the devil can only attack a believer through spiritual or physical forces. But I was wrong. The strongest and the most effective scheme of the devil is neither physical nor spiritual, but pyscological and intellectual. He finds a way of getting to your thoughts and emotions, he brings up arguments that seem really rational, such as would make you give him a chance, and then, he takes control of your life.

I particularly didn't understand the passage that says: (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holdswink 2Cor 10 v 4. I thought the warfare was a spiritual warfare or at worse a physical warfare,
but the kind of warfare was clearly stated in the next verse.

2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

the warfare is against imaginations, and thoughts and arguments against the knowledge of God.

I am sharing my own personal experience. How I overcame the fact with the truth.

I was once facing what some of you were facing. My intellects and my exposure we're raising all forms of imaginations and arguments against the understanding of the Knowledge of God. But God helped me to cast out those imaginations and defeat the devil's plans.

I got to a point, I started doubting and questioning but the evidences that all religious gods and teachings are man made and fake were staring at me in the face. I can't denied them without being dishonest. Miracles don't occur, prayer and faith don't work, God can't be moral, I mean the evidences are glaring. Go to hospitals and see the sick both believers and unbelievers all hopeless, look at the luxurious lifestyles of men of God and the universities they built while their members beg for bread. See the suffering in the, it doesn't point to a loving and all protective creator.

I thought you said in your other thread that the history isn't detailed so why are you asking him to study the same history you refused to study? grin

The simple fact that your the concept of your god cannot stand in the face of doubt should tell you that something is wrong about it smiley
