God is real, Jesus is real, the Holy Spirit is real. Jesus is coming back some day. I will check this site often and pray for everyone on it. Peggy

Well, You know they say misery loves company and if my comments end up for viewing I'll be surprised. "For he that comes to God must come believing as a little child and that he is a rewarder of those that seek deligently after him" Most all the dialouge here has basically how the failures of others have affected you. People will always fail you. While it may not be enough for you, the record that we have is what we have and thats it. The Bible. This is not about believing in a method of living or a religion that fits. In centuries past here those of you here would be referred to by the Jews as "Goyim"( no god). " And the Jews left Egypt and the mixed multitudes followed. There have always been that have chosen to follow after god and Gods people. So now you don't have one doesn't mean that God doesn't exist because you say so or that he does because I say so. Again the record we have is what we have. "Many are called but few are...

Many of those who wrote their stories here stated that there is no real evidence of God and of his son Jesus Christ. It’s all a alie. There is no evidence for all of the history printed in the Bible nor is there evidence for many so-called miracles. But what about those miracles we have heard about on t.v. or read about in books or magazines. I’m sure everyone here has heard of such things as people that were declared braindead in a hospital briefly see a bright light or an angel with wings before they are revived. What about exorcism? – you know, casting demons out of those who are possessed? How about those who have had suffered some sort of long term physical problem are suddenly healed almost instantaneously when they pray with a minister while the minister’s hand is laid upon that person’s forehead? What about speaking in tongues? I’ve never seen it with my own eyes, but is any of this true? Wondering

God is energy in all of us. The power of God is something you have to search for in every situation. I believe that when you give off negative energy you breed a negative return of energy and positive energy for positive energy. When I say positive energy I mean complete honest energy. Not energy you create in your mind to make you feel better about something negative I mean a better perspective not a fantasy. People always say to their selves “why do bad things always happen to good people” well they don’t. Good people run into bad situations and the out come isn’t always the best. We are all God and God is us. We decide when we will have a bad day and we decide if we hate our jobs, but only we can change that by changing our attitude, energy, and perspective. If you believe that sitting in a church dumping money into a tray with 100+ other people listening to someone tell you what you can and can’t do will save you, then fine that is your perspective. The truth is we live a...

Let's start with - I'm a Christian... now that we got that out of the way, I really wanted to say something because it looks like you guys are having fun on this site. I don't want to debate, I'm not educated enough for that, really. It says this is a site for 'encouraging' ex-christians so I thought I would do some encouraging if I may. I have noticed from the posts I have read that many of you seem to be very educated, well read and obviously intelligent. I think it's great to actually use your mind and gain understanding, which many of you have. I have also noticed a lot of wisdom in the things I have read - so much of 'religion' is a load of crap and we all do well to weed through the junk - seems to me many of you have done your fair share of weeding as it were. This too is good. It seems as defenders of the non-faith (not sure if that is what you call it) you do a great job... there are the odd just plain nasty responding posts wh...

I can't believe what I am reading. You won't see a cite for ex muslims. You want to know why? Because Allah and Muhammad are not God. Jesus is God. I know this is painful for you to read but I am absolutely convinced of it because of you all!! You all are fullfilling bible prophecy right now by scoffing and mocking the very GOD who gave His life for you. His requirement from you is that you forgive others!! He said that we are to forgive others seventy times seven a day. I know that humans are not better than God. He wouldn't ask us to do something He Himself had not already done. The bible says that all we have to do is confess our sins to HIM and that He is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE us our sins and to CLEANSE us from all unrighteousness. Is this brain surgery???? You rejected God because you want to be GOD. The gospel is so simple that a child could understand it. A child. How could you Miss it??? Can't you understand that God is Good? Think...

Dear webmaster: I urge you to stop spreading Satan's lies to the world. Look around you and see what's happening in the news: it's the Books of Daniel and Revelation coming true before our very eyes! You have no idea what you are doing to yourself and others by perpetuating this junk on your website. You are very lost and the time to get yourself right with your Creator is getting shorter by the day. carmen@therefinersfire.org Carmen

After reading several stories from here, I have concluded that all that have left Christinanity, were never truely born again anyway. Eighty to ninety precent of the professions for Christ are false professions. Many here don't believe in hell, but if I stood in the middle of the road and didn't believe in trucks, I would still get hit by a truck. So what I believe or not believe in does not change the reality of it. If you put a gun to my head and I laugh at you and tell you I don't believe in bullets. What if there were a slight chance of hell, would you really want to take that chance? If I offered you 10 Million dollars for both of your eyes, would you take it? Why would you put so much value on you eyes which are the windows of the soul, but place no value on the soul itself? For what shall it gain you if you gain the whole world, but loose your own soul? When I was 18, I had only been in church about 3 time my whole 18 year life. I grew up on a farm and one ...

You are one very sad, sorry, unhappy person. I really hope that you find something better to do with your time than making fun of Christians. I laughed my butt of as I read your No True Christians article. That was so incoherent in so many ways, it wasn't even funny. But it was very typical of a person who TRIES to use the Bible against itself, despite the fact that they have a very limited knowledge. Anyone can present crap to a group of people who also don't know what they are talking about. Pardon the pun, but you had better pray that there is no God. Could you imagine if you died, and actually were judged. What would you say? Yikes. And by the way...people aren't perfect, and they do make mistakes, people want to follow God's commandments to a tee, but we fail sometimes because we aren't perfect. We can't be perfect... ~John Believer PS - Since Jesus' life focused primarily on living for helping other people, and providing compass...

One thing is for sure, you were NEVER ever a Christian to begin with. You really need to be saved. This web site doesn't really prove anything, what a waist of time and effort. Maybe you should prey to God with an open heart, I'm sure he will forgive you. You still have time...that's if you're still alive by the time I send this message. Good luck with that bud.

I'm a full time christian,living my life in the paths of the lord.Recently i went to church and lerned how to look at the world with spiritual eyes,how to open my heart to all those around,and you know why because i am walking as a lamb of god with the lords love and peace constantly flowing in my spirit and guiding me to not only accomplish all i was set on earth for but to also grow in the spirit.I was a suicidal soul lost in the world influenced by people and always full of depression and hate in my heart beacause of demons that attacked me and trick me........because they do not offer love and peacefulness in life........i attempted to commit suicide,and i realized then how beautiful life truly was,it was a death experience i will never forget because i realized who was my friend,who made me feel good,and who gave me that father loving friendship i always searched for......this was jesus.....ever since ,i died in the flesh and i began to breth once again in the spirit.....now i...

Imagine for a moment that man was created by Virus God for one purpose. That man was created in order to be host to viruses. Without human hosts viruses would die. Man even got a brain, consciousness, awareness and so on in order to facilitate human interaction thereby facilitating the spread and survival of viruses. Man reproduces itself by means of rather intimate personal relations in order that viruses can find new hosts, new food sources. Even new tiny man/things which are of course good hosts for viruses, not possessing such a great deal of protection against them. Virus God even created a lesser Man God so that man could feel somehow special in the universe, and can even feel boastful enough that THEY were created in God's image and are the highest form of life. This also greatly reduced the possibility that host man would ever even imagine that they were merely created for the sole purpose of viruses. The Man God, at the will of Virus God commands those under hi...

I came across your site and I just wanted to say bravo! I too have a story of once being a christian for 16 years and after listening to a performance of classical music, I realized there was more spirit in the notes, than I ever felt reading the bible, going to church or praying to the actors of that poorly constructed play called christianity. I felt so strongly in my change that I wrote a diary, collected poems, and eventually, became what one would call a witch; just without the ignorant banter you find in most nature based faiths. My diary became a book, and it has just been published: www.wastelandpress.net/God.html . I didn't post this on your message board because I didn't want you to think it was a sly attempt at advertising :) Thank you though for your work. I wish I had seen your site when I was going through the process of my own spiritual cleansing. In Wisdom, Kurtz rev_messe_noir at yahoo dot com

I really hope that some of you will email me to explain why you are no longer following Christ. I am still a Christian, and I pray that I never turn away from the faith because if I do that proves that I never was a Christian to begin with(read 1st John). Contact me, and inform me of your views. Please challenge my thoughts. Thank all of you for your time. Kevin King romans10vs9@hotmail.com

sent in by Michael J Fowler When I was eight, my mother admitted that there was no Santa Claus. So followed the rest of the fairy tales. As I grew older, I noticed that the followers of the "Prince of Peace" seemed to do a lot of killing. I have quietly been an atheist for over forty years. I have been a critical care nurse and a firefighter/paramedic because of my belief that humanity must help itself. In my careers I have had to "feign christianity" to keep my jobs secure. I have read more of the bible than most xtians that I know. After I was seriously injured, we moved to AZ. Ever since the neighbors found out about our (non) beliefs we have been harassed; tires punctured, property vandalized, my son was assaulted at school,etc. We are considering emigration to a country that allows freedom of thought as I am too old, crippled and in pain to fight anymore.
