"Come, Holy Spirit,
bending or not bending the grasses,
appearing or not above our heads in a tongue of flame
as they harvest or when they plow in the orchards or when snow
covers crippled firs in the Sierra Nevada.
I am only a man: I need visible signs.
I tire easily, building the stairway of abstraction.
Many a time I asked, you know it well, that the statue in the church
lift its hand, only once, just once, for me.
But I understand that signs must be human,
Therefore call one man, anywhere on earth, not me — after all I have some decency —
and allow me, when I look at him, to marvel at you."
I regret for having searched for God . So much time of my life wasted. My heart is full of sorrow and full of anguish, as if a dagger was thrusted straight through it. I beg, and I mean this ever so deeply, for anyone who is searching for God, to not bother wasting their time (unless dealing with addiction problems). It really isn't worth it. I wish I could turn the clock back :'(
If you've truly become an atheist, try to leave "devout" out of the description of what you formerly were. :P
Also, please leave the "Answered Prayers and Miracles" group, if you want to be intellectually honest. Anyone who believes their prayers have been answered cannot be an atheist.
sorry to but into your conversation re richard dawkins but there is the 30 day novena of recieving holy communion daily and offering up an our father and hail mary after recieving the eucharist for the good of the catholic church in order to save a soul you nominate https://www.tanbooks.com/index.php/P...venly-Promises
