I'm a teenage girl (raised catholic) who has been atheist/agnostic/unsure since the summer. I have encountered several recent events in my life that have lead me to believe that there really is a God after all. All of my friends are really strong christians- but I just don't think that God is real.
I don't know if Christianity is right- or even real... but I'm feeling compelled to recommit my life to Christ. What does that mean anyway? How can you "commit your life" to someone who isn't even real? Who IS Jesus? I mean this whole thing makes no sense. How can there be a God when there are so many other religions like islam and such? My prayers never came true as a Christian.
Oh, by the way- I hate going to church and i don't see the point in doing it. It never even brought me closer to this so-called God. To be a true Christian (not a poser) do you HAVE to attend mass? What if I just want to have my OWN faith? I also don't believe in Bible verses and stuff- like I don't think that the people in it were real. Why can't we just have faith in GOD and not all the crap that goes along with it? (link)

if you feel compelled to recommit your life to christ. then i pray that you do it. and jesus is real, you just can't see him in front of you right now. and jesus is God in the flesh who died on the cross about 2000 years ago, for our sins. the was raised from the dead in 3 days. and are you sure your prayers didnt come true? the way you make it sound, is like a wish or somethin. when you pray you ask God for what you need, and say at the end of the prayer,"in the name of jesus christ i pray amen" and belive that God will do what you asked. the term christian, is someone who belives in christ, whos been forgave of thier sins, and has christ in thier lifes. the way you put it, you mixed christian with catholic. same thing, christian is the main catagory, while catholic is the sup catagory.and also, who do know, that can make a perfect circle? nobody beacuse no human can make a PERFECT circle. ONLY GOD CAN. and what i mean by that, look at the earth, its a perfect circle. and you need to seek God. thats the only thing i can tell you. if you feel compelled to recommit your life to christ, then seek God. pray to him, ask him for guidence. i hope this helps.
God bless

what you said about the circle thing doesn't make sense to me- because the earth isn't a circle it's a sphere. machines and computers can make perfect circles... and the earth isn't even a perfect circular shape it's slightly oval.
but thank you for your time though.
