What turns you off to the religion? Or what makes you question its legitimacy?

-Ive lost a child
-Been thru wars
-Tried to be a good person when no one was looking
-experienced lots of injustice
-prayed/cried out and no fuckn angel appeared in my drreams or waking life
-ive helped save peoples lives(professionally)
Etc etc etc.

At best 'God' thru me some crumbs it thats what we wanna call it. My life has been hard as fuck. If there's a 'God' he'll give me a quick death. 

He never appeared when i cried out.

I've been through a lot too, but when I turned to God, I didn't demand a sign or anything. I was in a desperate place and just prayed. Ever since I found my faith, I'd say my life brought forth a whole new set of challenges. You're under the wrong idea that God is going to just magically remove every problem in your life and you will never suffer again, but that's not how it works. He allows to suffer to grow in a spiritual manner. God is about the Spirit and helping to elevate others into a much more profound spiritual life in the name of Jesus Christ.

You said
>being a nice person when no one was looking
But you say it's not about being good for a set amount of time and suddenly God just pops out of thin air and pats you on the back. It's supposed to inspire a genuine transformation from within you, a desire that must come naturally because you genuinely want to be and do good, not because you think it's some sort of magical process that'll make God reveal Himself to you. 

And you know what? Despite all the bullshit we have both been through, here we are, still alive. That's something you seem to take for granted.

First and foremost-I have NEVER shut my door to the 'christian God'. He/she/It just never shows. IDAF about bullshit synchronicities, pennies in the street, $5 lottery tickets. My life has been one sacrifice/shitshow after another and very few miracles. 

I wish everyday that 7.62 killed me-but no-here i fucking am. Physically scarred, disabled, jobless, pending court case, dead daughter, getting older, disagreeable, dog needs to be put down soon.

Ive prayed before. And i believed at one time. Them days are long gone

>very few miracles.
Miracles are acts of God, so to say He never shows doesn't match up. Most people don't experience any. I understand, I hate my life too and many times I wish I could be done with this bullshit life, but I persist and continue. I'm jobless, I couldn't even get a job if I wanted. My family thinks I'm crazy, I have no friends, been through some really dark and traumatic shit. But I refuse to let that pull me down. I'm here for a reason, and I'll focus on the things that I can do. I'll focus on my spiritual growth and devotion to God.
