Felt empty.
I'm guessing that this will be a popular sentiment among ex-atheists.

I would like to be an ex-atheist (or ex-agnostic, whatever), but sometimes the "answers" feel more empty than what I have now, which is a searching. For now, a life of searching is more fulfilling than a life of having answers.

I think many of us will agree that searching is indeed meaningful and refreshing. Especially, in view of most of our black & white, force-fed, religious pasts.

It's hard to explain and for those that are still athiest to believe, but I felt the Holy Spirit speak to my heart. I fought it for some time and then visited some churches. I was saved last month. I'm now Baptist.

Thank you, babygirl. I was first saved in a Baptist Church, during my youth. It was during Vacation Bible School.

Is that a tacit admission that your worldview is based upon emotion?

So you actually thought that evidence was not available for the existence of a God at one time, BTS?
All prior beliefs you had had about God's existence, you then found to be invalid and therefore not in fact evidence for God's existence?
