Okay, at first I was an atheist. However, now I am beggining to believe in the idea of god. I mean if life can exist and all of this other stuff (I am not saying god created life or "other stuff," but im starting to believe he did) Why cant god exist? Ive been an atheist for a long time, also I have been "Pretending" to worship satan for the fun of it. Which I wish I never did. Do you think God will still accept me since I used to not believe in him and pretended to worship Satan?No spamming please, saying God is fake will be considered spam. Thank you :)!

It's never too late.
Belief in the possibility that God exists is the first step.
It can be daunting to try understanding Christianity, with all it's various doctrines and beliefs expressed by so many different denominations. Forget about the religious aspects. What they all can and do agree about is that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life... and that the only way to find God is through Him. I was agnostic for years, following many paths on my spiritual journey. Like millions of people, over thousands of years, I have found this claim to be true. With God's help, you will too. In fact, He wants you to seek and find Him, and will make a way for you to do this.
I would suggest talking to Him in prayer, asking Him for help and wisdom to understand. Find a Bible and read John and Romans. Here is a link to a website with several versions available online. I recommend the NASB, New American Standard Bible. It's in plain English and stays true to the original texts. You may find that God will send someone into your life who is a Christian that can help you understand, or help you to find a church where you can learn more.
I would also be willing to help answer any questions, or find some answers for you. Please feel free to email me. I hope that you will. May God bless you.

Yes you still can change now is the time to do that before it becomes too late, the time will soon come when manny will seek to change their path but it will be too late, but while the door is open you can stil repent and turn around and become acceptable to God!How? In (John17:3) Jesus tells us that we need to takle in accurate knowledge of God and his son Jesus Christ whom he sent forth. So learning the truth about God and Jesus is the first step then we need to put that knowledge into practice, otherwise there would be no point in taking in the knowledge in the first place would there?If you do thtr from your heart sincerely then God will still accept you even if you have not learned everything before the end day comes you still have a chance to learn now and do the best you can. But learning the truth about God and Jesus will not only get you a close relationbship with them both, but it will improve your life both now and in the future.You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.May the blessing of God be upon you!(Numbers6:24-26)

First of all, yes God will forgive you. He will forgive you of anything as long as you are sincere and contrite.
Just admitting that there is a chance that God exists is enough of a beginning to allow you to see the truth. Opening the door just a crack will let some llight in.
Seek him. He promises that if you seek him you will find him. I'm a convert to Catholicsm. I was raised Methodist. I can tell you that within the Catholic church you will find Christ in Eucharist and you will fnd grace and blessing in all the sacraments. It's an amazing journey.
If you are interested in a faith, start out by attending that church and praying for guidance. If you have a Catholic parish near by you can contact them about RCIA...that is a great place to start since you will learn a lot about Christianity, the history of the Church an of course about the saving grace of God through Christ.
May God bless you as you begin this journey.

Yes you can go Towards GOD at any Time!
GOD Loves you!
Even satanist, no matter how deep they have gotten into worshipping satan, can turn and GO Towards GOD!
GOD Accepts AnyBody at this Time.
Jesus (GOD)
Don't Leave Earth without HIM
The only ones who cannot Turn Towards GOD are those who have Died without HIM.
Once you Leave the Earth for Good (Silver Cord Broken) you cannot change your Destiny.
It is a "Spiritual" Law.
GOD Love's YOU
Hope this Helps!

Mainstream religions are for sheep, you sound like you could use a religion based on fun and free thought. Try the Church of the FSM, It will bring your life into focus.

That is the great thing about God. He said in His word that there is nothing that we can do that He cannot forgive us of, except deciding not to become a Chrisitan. If you repent of your sins, believe that God sent Jesus to die for YOUR sins, and ask Jesus to run your life, He will not only forgive you of ANY sins that you have previously commited, He will forget that it even happened. God bless you and I am praying for you.

thanks be to God. He has given you the grace to finally discover him. for as long as we live, we can always change for God and He will always accept us. your own life now is just one proof that atheists really deep down inside know there is God. only that they lack the courage perhaps to be sincere and to cling to the truth.
in all the answers i read before mine, all the respondents were all affirming and hopeful, very encouraging and supportive. this is the real spirit of those who believe in God. good luck to the journey. may you find what you are looking for...GOD in your heart, God in every human person.

I think it would be wise to talk with some trusted friends. I'm sure you have both Christian and atheist friends to talk with.
I KNOW God will accept you.
Have agreat day!
