And I've been where you are. The...I hear you. And I've been where you are. The only thing I can say that might help is that it was important for me to learn to question, not just the assumptions behind Christianity, but the assumptions behind atheism too. For instance, the assumption that science is the arbiter of reality-- that the only way to know if something is real or not is if it can be proven using certain methods. Methods that I think are as inadequate for the purpose of determining spiritual truth, as a ruler is inadequate for measuring air pressure.<br /><br />I do think sometimes my very doubt shut my spirit off from being able to hear or feel God. When I began thinking more positively about the possibility of God, the silence ended. The silence, I think, wasn't because God wasn't there, but because I had shut my ears.<br /><br />This website helped me a lot-- it opened my mind to other ways of thinking about God besides the ways of evangelical fundamentalism. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.doxa.ws/" rel="nofollow">DOXA</a>Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252374623355509404noreply@blogger.com
