It's really hard, because It's like God and I got off on the wrong foot at the very beginning. My concept of him was so skewed and twisted, well really, it's no wonder that my faith was shaky.
Looking back, the beginning of it all was New Years day, 2007, when I sat on my bed crying and said "God, either you every bad thing that I think you are, in which case I want nothing more to do with you or I have no clue who you really are." And then I proceeded to throw out everything I had ever thought or believed, retaining only a belief that God existed.
Even though it worked for me, I don't know that I would recommend that method, LOL

Yeah, I don't particularly recommend this method. It took a whole lot of years for me. And I threw out everything all the way to, and including, a belief that God existed.
