Re: OK..you don't have to believe me. Now what?
You were not supposed to feel anything if you didn't.
Christ says "blessed is he that believes and has not seen".
Christ also said that being single was a blessing. Tell me, what man would consider that a blessing for all of their days?
And so, Christians may have experiences, all different. Some might have no experience. I have had no experience. I have always believed in God and I believe this is something to do with the fabric of my physical make-up. i.e. My personality.
Often Shraff says "it's your martyr complex mike". You see, I can't hide my personality. Either something in us is like God so we believe in him, or you have the "born again" scenario, which is the old "give your heart to Cheezus via Lenny Binn's bank account".
I'm the former. I beg God to give me a visit but the sucker insists on blessing the shit out of me.
Regards honestly, mike.

Hey Shraff, honestly though, I believed I could fly like superman when I was a kid. It's not the same as belief in God, or the truth that prayer brings.
