Jennifer,
I usually stay away from topics about religion because I feel that I may do more harm than good. I personally believe that most, if not all, Christians have troubles similar to yours from time to time. I'm not perfect in my Christian walk and I've struggled with my faith at times too.
I usually pray every night and I do randomly speak to God throughout the day. I know that I need Him and that He's with me. I have tried to walk away at times out of anger, hurt, etc...but He never allowed it. God allowed me to throw my temper tantrums, say my hateful words...but He stayed with me.
IMO, it's much easier to choose not to believe than to believe and have faith in Him.
I really enjoyed reading this, & I agree with some of what you've said. I've walked away, & I'm still angry. But I don't have the confidence that Jennifer seems to have for a fact that He doesn't exist.
I've said He doesn't exist, but I don't know that beyond a doubt. There's still this voice inside my head (heart?) that makes me wonder.
It would be nice to know instead of just saying I know.
