    I have purposely avoided this thread for some time due to my reluctance to discuss religion and/or politics on forums. However, I do wish to contribute. I always found it hard to believe in God. I relied on facts, science, and objective truth for understanding the happenings of the universe. I even had envy for those that believed in God, for I felt that they had hope or comfort in their lives that I could not find. However, something happened to me about three years ago that changed everything. I witnessed something so astonishing and unreal that it jolted my soul. I pondered on this for several months, trying to explain what had happened, but I couldn’t find a practical answer. Although I will not say what it was (because I’m still struggling with it), I will say that I feel as though it was a miracle/divine intervention. I still have some doubts about the Bible and of religious institutions, but this is something that I am still considering. I want to end here by saying that I do believe in God, and for all that’s it worth, I feel grateful and at peace for the first time in my life.
