Hi,
I was wandering if any of you had some sort of experience/s that was " mystical or spiritual" and as a result stayed believers before you became an Atheist.

What I mean Valjan, is something that made you remain a believer, that's if you where one prior to the experience or became one because of it, but then you turned to Atheism.
I am sorry, I didn't word it well.
Or if you had the experience as an atheist, but reasoned it somehow.
Yeah, I suppose I didn't explain the question well.
Thanks

I thought that I was called to the ministry a while ago, then things happened.Hi,

I had several mystical experiences and then became an atheist because I couldn't be a Biblical literalist because on matters of science the Bible is false. I still have spiritual experiences, but now I realize they don't come from an external "God" figure as depicted in the Bible.Hi,

This makes some sense to me. I find it really strange when people try to box up mystical experiences into some pre-existing worldview, almost regardless of the nature of their experience and the pre-existing worldview themselves.
Never been a believer, but I have experienced the mystical and remain as skeptical about the gods as ever.
I definitely have had many of those experiences, some of them being at a church camp when I was younger.If you've ever been to church camp over the summer you know what kind of a spiritual high that is. People are raising their hands, crying, it's altogether an emotional experience. By that definition I was really "feeling the spirit" that week. And when the week was over the lead speaker asked if anyone felt the call of God to be in full time Christian ministry. I went down to the front that day.
Right now I claim the title Atheist as my religion. It may change, but I don't know if I can keep doing Christianity. I can't be in ministry, what's the point? That's the whole point of Christianity.
