Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.If you seek God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you,He will.
But,I think you dont want to,or you have barriers up to this.I dont know,Im only guessing here but now you will say Im preaching to you,or trying to force my beliefs on you,and so on…
Oh,I forgot.Here is a video I like to show people when I am evangelizing

Mate seriously, you are continuing to come across as a typical religious nut (meant in the nicest way possiblly)
You are always looking for that ■■■■■ in the armour, always looking at people as a challenge to convert, always going with what you see as a light at the end of your tunnel,…A pound shop evangelist.
I’ve been using football to analogise this stuff in simplistic terms , it’s a good metaphor in this case,.and I suppose it is my version of a religion…very loosely speaking I stress.
I follow my team with a passion,.I love my club,.I run.a very small part of my life around football games, aye I know ,.sad as ■■■■ to some who don’t get the game, but that’s the way I am.
My Mrs is a part time sufferer in all this (a bit of an ott description but you know what I mean) she has to check with me before a holiday date is planned,.we’ve walked miles in many holiday resorts in the past looking for bars that show my team’s game on the day, …including our honeymoon.
It’s a passion with me…but NOT a way of life.
That is the difference.
So…unlike your type of person (of which I have met many in my life) I am not totally obsessed,.I do not run my ENTIRE life around it,.I do not put it first over everything else I do not brainwash my kids with it to the point of encroaching and interfering with their lives,.and manipulating them into a code of life that they would not NATURALLY take.
I do not take every opportunity to convert others I fully accept that they either have their own teams or can’t stand football,.and I make no effort to try and change them.
Sorry mate but I look upon people like yourself as being dangerous, what you see as good, I see as a mild sort of evil,.you are trying to stop people taking natural paths in life in favour of a misguided criteria of what you see as ‘good’…it ain’t !.
You will try at every opportunity to bring mundane subjects around to religion…by your own admission you say you spark off conversations about it to your co drivers ffs…captive audience or what?
To get back to my grandparents,.they helped bring me up well, they were religious people, they encouraged me to go to Sunday school etc,.what they did NOT do is influence me to their own ends, get into my brain, or try to change me into some mindless clinically thinking robot.
As I got older they accepted that I was not going to be like them in that respect, they didn’t ‘‘banish me into damnation’’ (or any other madcap dramatic religious phrase you can think if, and often use )we got on really well,.and I still respect them after they are long gone.
So on reflection they did influence me, but not in a bad way,.and despite the religion, not because of it.
So with me mate those barriers are there as you correctly say, but not because I have any element of doubt that you can work on, but because I can not be convinced of something that I know is not true.
Best stick with Yorkshire Tramper to become your latest victim,.he’s showing signs of doubt, by some of his terminology,.discussing Gid as if he believes he exists,.,… as I’m sure you have jumped on like a randy mongrel on a pedigree poodle, but there lies the difference between him and me.
Keep spreading the word mate, but your deffo barking up the wrong tree in my direction.
ND says he’s an agnostic…a window of opportunity for progress there I reckon.
He may even be a dyslexic agnostic,.spends his time pondering whether or not there is a ‘‘DOG’’.
I need to have a word with myself about these long winded Winseer esque posts I’m churning out lately btw.
But it’s an indication of how much you are starting to ■■■■ me off about all this crap.
So in a way you HAVE succeeded into getting into my head, but not in the way that you guys aim to.
