Christain understand non-christains becouse at one time all christains were non-christains you are not born christain. But non-christain can never understand christains becauses they never were.

But I do not understand, because G-d was able to reach me. I am not special. If G-d could reach me, He could reach anyone. The non-Christians have also been reached. I do not understand why they drew back from G-d?

Shalom.

But I do not understand...

You do not understand becuase you believe that what works for you is what should work for everyone. Abandon (rim-shot) that view and you might begin to understand how many people lead happy, prosperous, loving lives without a concept of God as an influence in their lives.

Your faith has obvious value to you. That is a wonderful thing because it makes you a person who has a connection to the world that you experience. Other people make connections in other ways, without the faith you have.

To insist that everyone place the value in faith the way you have is, I think, unreasonable. There are too many differences among us to think that one way to place yourself in an immense universe is the only way that works for people.
