alright so i believe in god. i know he is there and all but i dont FEEL him. i dont pray as much as i used to because when i did i didnt feel anything. i could have a horrible fight with my dad, go and cry on my bed and pray to him and not feel like he was there.

i just feel so alone sometimes so i just go ahead and live my life. i go to church because my parents make me and i do want to have a stronger faith life like i used to but i just dont see the point in it any more. i dont feel like god is even there.

everyone is all like "god is so active in my life" and "god is speaking to me" and i just dont hear that. when i sit alone in a room, i feel truely alone. sometimes when i am going through a hard time i feel like there is no one there for me.

i just dont get it.

has anyone had these feelings before?
what do i do?
is this athiest of me?

Many people seem to believe that the end is nigh because of an apparent increase in 'signs'.

We are now living in a world of instant news access via TV and Internet.

Would this suggest that disasters and wars are not more numerous now, just more evident?

I would like you to explain this. This is a true story (believe or not):

When I was about 5 years old, my brother, "Bryan", had Neuroblastoma and at this time he was 8 years old and had had it for about 4 years. While my dad stayed with me and my other 2 brothers at home, my mom stayed with Bryan at the hospital.
One night, Bryan woke up my mom at 4 o'clock in the morning saying "mom, Grandpa wants to talk to you". My mom tried to ignore Bryan for she was tired and knew that Bryan was on these kinds of drugs that made him illusional and besides that, my grandpa was dead. When my mom woke up in the morning Bryan ran up to her with a smile. "Grandpa told me to give this to you," he said holding up a sticker. My mom grabbed the sticker and looked at it. It said "I Believe In Me, POPS"(pops was my grandfathers nickname). My mom asked him where he got it and he kept saying from pop so my mom asked every nurse on the floor if any of them gave Bryan that sticker. They all

I'm of the age where I'm starting go to funerals on a regular basis and seeing friends and family members" all dressed up to go away" is beginning to strike me as more than a bit strange .
Does anybody else feel the same way ?

If it's between people I haven't known long and am not that close to, but they know each other fairly well and one is talking about her husband or something. Is it rude to be listening if I'm within earshot?

I have been brought up as a Christian. I have a scientific background which has taught me that I should only believe that for which I have evidence. The Bible is a text which, from a scientific point of view, is full of holes big enough to drive a coach and horses through. What we know to be factual about
the universe is at odds with whats in the Bible
