I've gone to church all my life, I've read the Bible umpteen times, I've prayed for something... Anything! I just wanted a reason to believe! I asked for ten years, for a touch, a confirmation, NOT A SIGN! I do not want a sign, but just a reason to believe! My friends say I do not need a reason, but I think that is just stupid! Who would do such a thing - believe in something just because someone tells you to?!?! Only a SUCKER would do that!
I tried to study more about Jesus, but couldn't find anything substantive about him in history, and found out about all the dozens of missing books left out of the Bible, and then you have the problems of evil and Hell and blasphemy and etc, etc..
I don't know what God could do to hide Himself any more. All my friends say to do this and that and I have done it all, humbled myself, denied myself, read certain scriptures, quiet myself, waited patiently, ceased from all manner of evil, prayed, fasted and really... Nothing! I quit!
