You are welcome .. I was once one of those folks .. I pretty much kissed off the church .. but during that time I never gave up in my belief .. just all the crap I was seeing from a bunch of bible swingers who'd put a knife in your back if they were ever given the chance ..

It took me a while to come around and like I have said .. I'm still working on being a good catholic and Lord knows I need a lot of work in that area .. lol

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers.
Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

Mo, I lost my faith and belief in God as a result of attempted child molestation and abuse.....I was in my early 20s.

Before my husband died, I felt something missing from my life, but I wouldn't allow the thought of God being what was missed. It has only been in the last 4 years or so that I have changed and thank Him daily for pushing/pulling/cajoling/punishing/or any other appropriate verbage to indicate what God has done for me.

And I am so far from being all the way there.
