So that’s what happened to Kosta, he was banned.
“Where is my faith? – even deep down, right in, there is nothing but emptiness & darkness. – My God – how painful is this unknown pain. It pains without ceasing. – I have no faith. – I dare not utter the words & thoughts that crowd in my heart - and make me suffer untold agony. So many unanswered questions live within me – I am afraid to uncover them – because of the blasphemy – If there be God, - please forgive me.”
- Mother Teresa
So much for an “indwelling spirit”, when even a person like her has doubts.
All you’ve done is convinced yourself that what you chose to believe is true, but there really is no certainty of it. Couple that with the problem your god has when it regrets certain actions, philosophical problems arise about the very violation of the concept of a god being incapable of regret (infallibility). Add to that its violent streak in causing the creation of the Amalekite infants, and then asking a man (Saul) to crush them to death, you really cannot boast so much confidence unless you are deliberately choosing to be brainwashed.
I’ll respond if you have anything new to add to the discussion. If it’s the same old rehashed, immature threats, cross-talk implied threats and intimidation under a veil of false communication (like in your last comment above), you’ll be ignored. I smell such stupidity from miles away, so don’t waste your time again.

Yes, after much longsuffering of his tirades against the Bible and attacks on the God of it.
