If his story is true, his sexual escapades left him one incredibly messed up man who didn't know a single thing about real relationships.<br /><br />Lets say he thoroughly enjoyed promiscuity. Once he fell in true love he was paralyzed when his wife said "no." he was, and still might be, a relational midget.<br /><br />So the atheist claim is a cloak for folly in the Christian view. Thanks Steve for emphasizing that.<br /><br />Secular musicians are a great case study for this.Coreysanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088111514772374098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-60553079535428415682019-06-16T10:25:07.426-04:002019-06-16T10:25:07.426-04:00I'm just blue-skying here but a contrast poppe...I'm just blue-skying here but a contrast popped into my head while reading your article. A caveat - I'm only speaking from personal experience. I was raised RC, left the church at 16, & came to Christ at 37. Perhaps the difference is one between happiness and joy. During the 21 years I spent, if not as an atheist, then as someone ignoring all things not concerned with this life, I had happiness. But, although there's not much difference in the Dictioinary, joy is something I never experienced until after I turned to God. It's the difference between luke-warm, brackish water in a warm pond and the crystal-clear ice-cold water in a fast stream. Just my 2 cents.jttaylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685214787632195669noreply@blogger.com
