Give me a bible and i will retort, what is it for? I lived a life where I had no use for it. At one point in time of my life, I didn't understand why my fellow Church member discriminated other religious beliefs. Why do you praise your deity and defame someone's deity? Why do you keep on persuading others to join yours and not that of others? You keep on saying they are just all imaginary deities, what shows yours is not the same? Have you seen yours, that you tell me, what they are worshipping is just as equivalent to a fictional book?
I gave up on that quest to join some one-minded people who sit in some sort of decorated building giving reference to a deity. I stood myself a distance away from any activity they termed as religious. Being an Atheist was a stress free world where you couldn't wake up one day with so many awkward and weird people in your face as if you're the photocopy of the devil.
Well, many years have passed by and ask yourself, 'Is this stupid person on this this this this year and reaching a same road?' This road of insanity. This road of blindness. Thankfully, I have seen the light that those friends of mine were saying.
It started roughly and smoothly just as Paul who was then Saul was made to see the light. Maybe, mine wasn't the same, but what I know now is, THERE'S GOD!!! Many things happened during my Atheistic period of living. I tried several religions till I got to this one, they call Christianity. I met a man,who is ready to forgive me no matter what I have done. He said I should to him and confess all my sins to Him and I will just become His son. Is that magic? Who does that? I innocently hurriedly told Him what I have done and He took me in. He fed me. He gave me warmth. It was one of its kind. What manner of love has He exhibited towards me?!! Since then, I have stayed there and I am still here.
Luckily, I had new friends. They all had their reasons for being there. Grace, the Choir leader, told me she has no place of joy and amusement than coming before His presence. Well, I can't deny the fact that, I am attracted to Grace, after all I'm not married. Another was Austin. Austin believes, he owes a lot to The Man up there. He can't repay Him with anything, other than to worship and praise Him as He, God delivered him from death point. Evans who also believes he has a duty to fulfill. He has to accomplish the task that says "go ye therefore.....preaching and baptizing people in the name of Jesus" and till he's done, he is not leaving the House of God.
I can't tell you what they have all been saying. I can't force you to join me worship and praise God. I can't point weapons at you just to serve God. I can't slaughter animals with the aim of convincing you to join me and serve God. What I can tell you is just come and try Him. If He fails you, you can walk away and never come back. Just try Him, He never fails.
