FROM ATHEISM TO CHRISTIANITY by A.S.A. Jones
An ex-atheist finds faith in God through Christianity after more than twenty years of atheism. Learn about the discoveries that led to Jesus Christ. I was a devout atheist for over twenty years. In July of 1998, I finally managed to see the biblical truths that had managed to elude me. The following is an account of how I went from hardcore skepticism to hardcore worship of the Savior, Jesus Christ. RATIONAL THOUGHT REPLACES THE GOD OF MY YOUTH I was raised a Roman Catholic in a home where the name of Jesus Christ and God was never mentioned. I was encouraged to attend catechism and church every weekend, but the concept of God was never made completely real to me. I entertained the notion as any child would, but I just wasn't into the imaginary friend scene and by the time I was thirteen, I had concluded that God was merely a vicious adult version of the Easter bunny. I abandoned the lie, informed my upset parents that I would no longer be attending church, and began seeking truth. In the absence of a religious belief to answer life's questions, I turned my mental energy to science. Science had an awesome track record of solving many problems and its resulting technology had provided tangible benefits to all of mankind. Science was the answer! I reasoned that if we could educate our populations and continue to make advances in medicine, agriculture and energy production, we would one day have the mythical Eden as our reality. I threw myself into my studies, determined to become a scientific messiah who would one day deliver people from the bondage of disease. At the age of sixteen, my IQ and my grades made me eligible for my high school's early release program and I began my studies in biology and chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh.

Each of us will at some point in our lives look upon a loved one and ask the question:"We are willing, Lord, but what can we do?"For it is true that we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give, or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with, and should know, who elude us. But we can still love them. We can love completely, without complete understanding.

God's Word Reveals the Root of Our Problems
The solution to the problems we struggle with can be discovered by addressing the root of our problems as revealed in God's Word.
Romans 1:25-identifies man's basic root problem.
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator.
The root of problems began in the Garden,when Eve believed the serpent and being decieved, chose to disregard God's warning. Adam chose to join Eve rather than obey God. They both decided to determine for themselves what is true and what is good. They chose to live life independent of God and rely on their own reason rather than God's Word.
Genesis 3:1-7
A Key Principle
"A lie believed as truth will affect your life as if it were
true-even though it is a lie."
