im open to any questions/comments or even just vented anger. ill provide proof of the Bible without using the Bible and proof that Jesus is truly God. Ask away
I read your long post over on the Christianity forum, where you discussed your depression and fake suicide attempts. It seems obvious that you were only ever 'angry with God', rather than a true non-believer. You would never have felt the compulsion to cry out 'Jesus save me!' if there hadn't been a part of you that still wanted to believe.
Basically, you were depressed because you felt that your life was pointless and you convinced yourself in the truth of Christianity, because you wanted to believe that your life was filled with intrinsic meaning.
what i described to you was a supernatural event. there was no planned out decision or thought that im gonna start believing in Jesus just to give my life meaning.

You are aware of the definition of "supernatural" I presume?
So you expect to prove a supernatural event with what precisely? Natural subjective experiences?
It could be an interesting topic of discussion but does it break the rule on proselytization?
It could be considered just informative, depending on how he goes about it.
But this statement..."provide proof of the Bible without using the Bible ' makes it seem not too likely since we don't need 'proof of the Bible' We all know there is such a thing.
Yeah, I'm being very literal here but I do want accuracy if someone is going to try to explain something to me.
I agree. But since I have no interest in hearing what this person will justify as "proof" I'll leave it to you.
Yes. I'm just setting up a road -cone for anyone else who may think of taking the bait. for myself, I have no questions to ask. I specialize in answers.

Well, I sure think it is!
I don't question that the OP had a genuine emotional experience, and how he feels about it is how he feels. I just reject the idea that his emotional experiences should also be mine.
right, even though the OP's experience is genuine and personal and not even to be questioned. The part about the proof about the bible and "let the preaching begin" bothers me a bit. OP feels what he or she feels but we do not need to be "saved".
