I believed that God through his Spirit lived in me. I felt his presence around me at all times and I felt his power as I preached and ministered. I have at one time or another utilized one of the 9 gifts of the Spirit etc. <br /><br />I had the head knowledge when it came to the scriptures, but at the time I believed that my subjective experiences were the confirmation of my head knowledge and an indication that I was on the right path. Finding explanations for all of these apparent phenomena plus overcoming my genuine fear of God and the consequences of going against him took me six years to shake and overcome. <br /><br />It is definitely not an easy road for many of us and I find that the deeper one is submerged in his/her beliefs the harder it is for them to get out.

Obviously at age 58 I no longer hold the belief in good old St Nick but despise the entire concept of a God belief. I know nothing of the struggles of those who have or are trying to rid their minds of religious fairytales but I wish them all the best on their journey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212271725261869700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-57854165880766403662013-03-15T19:42:26.350-04:002013-03-15T19:42:26.350-04:00I too was very impressed with Age of Reason.

I read modern works just to keep up with the changes and the trends in argumentation from both sides. Another great classic book to read like Age of Reason is a book entitled Good Sense by Paul Henri Thiry. It is available online for free since its in the public domain. Also, thanks for liking my blog there's plenty of material here to read as well.
