Not to be insulting, but seriously. I previously asked if anyone would believe in God (or even thought one exists at all) if their parents hadn't spoon fed them religion from day one, and the answers I got were generally, "Oh yessuh, yessuh I shure wouldz because I have witneszed a mirakul from God himself!" and so I guess what I'm asking here is for specific examples. I have just got to know, what specifically happened to make you throw away your sense of self worth and say there is something out there greater than man?

Setting aside your obvious lack of understanding of what Christianity is, and your boorish and insulting comments, I will answer you...
I was not spoon fed any sort of religion in my childhood - as a matter of record, my parents were non practicing Catholics. They never mentioned anything about God that I can remember. And although I attended a Catholic school, I distinctly recall, even at a young age, that I questioned much of what was sporatically taught there.
After highschool I definately was on my own path - no religion, no god.
When I was 22, I was miraculously saved from certain death - it's a long story, suffice to say that I did not become a Christian at that time
When I was 23, I was miraculously saved from certain death and/or maiming again - still not acknowledging that God is real.
When I was 24, I and my friend had pretty much given up the idea that we were worthy of anything in particular - and we delved into the occult to relieve both our heartache and our boredom with life
At 26, my friend fell gravely ill - through her illness we began to explore Christianity.
She was healed
We began to pursue God, and study His word - giving our lives to Him apart from any religious doctrine, teachings or church.
At 28 we began attending a local evangelical fellowship.
At 29 I married. At 35 - I was cured of debilitating headaches
At 47 - I witnessed God every day while working to set up a Christian school that had not been "in our plans"
These things are not fake - they are not coincidence. They are simply the handiwork of God's plan.

There are strong evidences that God is there. He has placed His mark on all life. At the most basic of levels. He has placed chirality in both protein and DNA molecules. When a random chemical reaction is used to prepare molecules having chirality, there is an equal opportunity to prepare the left-handed isomer as well as the right-handed isomer. It is a scientifically verifiable fact that a random chance process, which forms a chiral product, can only be a 50/50 mixture of the two optical isomers. There are no exceptions. Life therefore is a miracle that all but proves God is there... Jim

No one has any good answers to this question.
*i'm sorry, i'm looking for these answers myself*
If they were born and the parents taught let's say FSM that would be the religion that they would follow. I mean how would they know any better?
So by believing in FSM according to X-ians they would burn in the lakes of fire, how sad and unfair.
They may has well not have been born then.

Those who lean unto there own understanding of scripture are leading others astray and blinded by their "pride!" But this has to occur for the Kingdom of God is coming to this earth and establish His way as the only way.
Pride is man's downfall. The End of the circle of man's self rule will be the beginning of Christ's Kingdom but that "pride" must be broken first!

i was from a household that believed in letting us find our own path in life.i was not spoon feed. anything i prayed and then i believed. i don't need to tell you what happened because you would just make it out to be a coincidence. but let me say that it was not and it touched my heart deeply. i believe in God because he is real and not for any other reason that would make people like you question me.

I was born-again by the supernatural, intervening grace of Almighty God.
Turns out my own personal "logic" was no path to truth after all.

Not to be insulting? The way you word your "question" and the things you say are insulting. Answer your own question.....There is a way to ask something, and yours is not worth the time.......
