I was reading the "About Me" section. Interesting. My experience has been exactly the opposite. Before Jesus was my guide, I was dangerous. I was bad. I was pathetic. I was ridiculous My wife and family are ever so grateful that I turned around and chose a path that, well, I've been a follower of Jesus for 31 years now (61) and I can honestly say that since that day, every year has been better than the year before. Not easier. Not by a long shot. But definitely better. Sorry your experience was not the same. Good luck on your journey.
Hi Thesauros Actually I have always been a nice, kind person who who do the best I can and not hurt anyone... Before I had religion, during my time with religion and after I'd left Religion... So I've never really needed a "Guide" to tell me what was right or wrong... I am so glad I've got out of that way of thinking as it has restricted all my life, and "NOW" I am the happiest I've ever been... Life is not easy, but it is neither here nor there whether you have Jesus in your life... That's just life!!! I've had it both ways, and 'God' (Because now I don't believe he exists) did nothing for me when I did believe, and now I know why... We do only get one shot at life and there is no after-life so I am really going to enjoy what I have left, and be thankful that I've had this chance to exist in the first place... As Richard Dawkins says... "and forsake your vain and presumptuous desire for a second one"... Good luck to you to TH, as long as you are "Truly" happy... :)
