 So hey. The other day, YouTube suggested a video for me by a channel called "The Atheist Voice." I watched the video, and then several more about atheism (on this same channel), and especially why Christians are wrong. And honestly, about some things I see where this guy is coming from. This guy says that "just have faith" are the most dangerous words (put together) that mankind has ever known. And because he's not religious, I get that. I mean, I am religious, and I struggle with that phrase. But especially if I wasn't religious, having people tell me to "just have faith" would definitely NOT convince me that their religion is right. In fact, just because of the kind of woman I am, I would be less inclined to participate in their religion, to really give it a chance, or to test it than I was before they said that.

Anyway, I've watched a bunch of his videos. And okay, while I was watching one of them, I started crying. Not because I was doubting my faith, because I don't think I've ever really lived doubt-free. I don't exactly know why I was crying. I think it may just be because I wish God was obvious to everyone. I think I cried because I know what living a life trying to ignore Him is like. I've watched the people around me live without any attempt to know God, and that just makes me sad. And maybe that makes me sound ignorant, especially to people who do live without any acknowledgement of God. But I'm okay with that. But I think part of it is because he reminded me of a really good friend from the beginning of high school who's an atheist. It's hard, at least it was for me, to really care about someone and also watch their disinterest in God.

And I don't have all the answers. I daresay I have the barest minimum of answers. I don't know what to say about a lot of different things, that Christianity itself is in conflict over. But I'm okay with it. I may not agree with a lot of Christians about a lot of things, but in the long run, there are only a few things that I would say are completely essentially necessary for Christianity. (Although, that's quite an over-simplification of the situation.) Anyway... yeah. He might test your faith, but if you're interested, the videos I watched were all from this YouTube channel: The Atheist Voice. Check it out if you like, or if not, that's great too! Anyway, thanks for reading this! I'll talk to you later!
