Many ex-Christians start to realize that the bible can't really be seen as evidence and that they've never actually witnessed anything to make them believe in God. All that's left then is the feelings they get when they pray, worship at church, or just the general feeling that there must be something there.When did you realize that these feelings didn't really prove anything?My experience: I had a terrifying episode of sleep paralysis where I couldn't move and hallucinated a ghost reaching out towards me. If the most supernatural thing I'd ever experienced could be explained by the chemical processes in my brain, any emotion I felt about religion certainly could. Also, I feel comfort holding a teddy bear. That doesn't make it any more than fabric and stuffing.</blockquote>
