Believe it or not, I used to be one of them. I was the proudest, most arrogant, most judgmental, most liberal person you can imagine and I trolled on this very forum for a while. I believed that legal abortion was a sign of human social progress and I actively protested the execution and even the life sentencing of rapists, child molesters, and murders. I even tried to petition for the legalization of some things so horrible I don’t really want to mention them here. Then one summer, while I was busy doing wet-lab research work on human embryonic stem cells, I had an epiphany and was completely transformed from the inside. I don’t remember praying to God, I was an atheist, and I still have trouble with faith. I think there is at least a possibility that there is a God up there that chose to change me somehow and for some purpose.

The point of all this is that life is pretty unpredictable and there is still hope for the liberals.

Wow, this is the most optimistic comment I have ever posted!

Those who are meant to hear can only run away for so long. The hardest heart will be softened & broken down if that is His will. You can’t choose Him, so much as recognize that He chooses & eventually, you realize you aren’t the one in control. Next thing you know, you’ve picked up His cross & your own reason can never explain why or how that happened.

Many of us who post on this forum have been there, or are currently in dispair for loved ones who are in that mindset.

It is a great encouragement to hear your "testimony" as it is called in some quarters.

You have made my day.
