What Made You Believe In God/Allah? (Were You INDOCTRINATED With It?)

[the cac mamba]

You can't say the same thing about the Universe, though.​

until religious fools have to come up with something better than 'god was always just here', i dont have to come up with anything better either

Why me of all people though? I'm nobody special, just a random black teenage boy.

Well, they came up with something better back in the 4th Century BCE (aseity) and science has disproved the 'Universe was always there'-hypothesis.

The 'G-d' hypothesis lies outside science so other means are necessary to discover its validity/invalidity, i.e., logic/philosophy.

There are just as many (if not more) irreligious fools as religious fools. This forum is a testament to that fact.​

I think people generally find God after a low point in their life. They realize there has to be more in life than this daily rat race grind of a life.

Maybe true

indoctrination. But, since my initial exposure, I've come to think many different things rather solely than the original concept I was given.

because after reading the Quran i was shocked on how it was all facts on the nature of man and woman

and Islam is the religion that forces its followers to be disciplined above all, everyone is equal and ranked by their deeds and character. and I believe discipline is what separates the Great from the low

also the entire book is a book of poetry in arabic so just reading the english translation is doing it a disservice you needa hear it recited

For my believers, what made you believe in God? I believe in an afterlife, but what changed you to make you believe?

Dying. Experiencing what was on the other side and knowing it is not subject to personal thoughts, feelings or emotions had a profound impact.

So, what did you see on the other side before you came back to life? I've heard about people dying and coming back to life.

It was more felt than seeing. Felt a love that has no equivalent. An embrace that you knew was rooted in love, peace, joy and the remaining fruits of the spirit. An extremely powerful presence that you...... Hmmmmm... like in the movies where the character says you are only here because I allow it kinda things. Except you know the being whose presence you are in is allowing it.

Left no doubt in any way, shape or form it was God. The first thing sensed was love.
