Incredible story of a man

2002.07.13
I hope everybody is doing great. First of all, I apologize for my
frequent mess up this bulletin board. As you may well know, Whenever
I, as a christian, encountered a good article, I'd like to share it
especially with my nonbelieving good friends. It is my sincere pray
that you must read and hear from what the christians' saying. This is
the story about one of the extreme atheist totally transformed into a
newborn christian. Please think about his life deeply and find out
the reason of her change...............I was born into a home of near
constant rage and violence. My mother never married my father or my
brother's father. As a result of my mother’s constant angry
outbursts she could not hold down a job and she, my brother and I
lived with her parents and my unmarried uncle in a small row house in
Baltimore, Maryland.

My grandfather had never filed an income tax return and most of what
he did do during his life was illegal or ill advised. He had no
savings. My grandmother read Tarot cards and sent out demons by
burning human hair. My uncle kept hoards of pornography in his room
and my mother filled the house with statues of mating animals which
she worshipped.

My mother accepted the communist doctrine when I was about ten years
old and from that time on there were socialist and communist study
group meetings in the basement of our Baltimore home.

I was taught that because there was not God there was no such thing
as right or wrong. My mother told me it was better to be a homosexual
than to be a Christian. She taught me that the most important things
in life were the physical pleasures of drink, food and sex.

For many years I lived the life I was taught. I drank a quart of
vodka a day and by the time I was thirty I had been married twice. I
lived only to eat, drink and have what I thought were sexual
pleasures.

But a time came when the women and the booze no longer gave me the
happiness that my atheist mother told me they would bring. I was
consuming so much alcohol that it no longer got me high. I started
using marijuana and other drugs to supplement the alcohol which had
betrayed me.

At age thirty I began to realize how empty my life had been. There
were no people in my life. My only friends were cigarettes and booze.
It was that realization that led me on my search for God. I had seen
every evil in the world and now wanted to see the other side of
life..

I turned to a Twelve Step Program to stop the drinking and there
found my first awareness of a loving God. Yet that God had no name.

In a novel, I read the story of the great physician, Luke, and I
yearned to have the relationship and love of God this man had, but I
did not know how to reach God. On January 25, 1980, as I slept in my
apartment in San Francisco, the Holy Spirit came upon me and directed
me to seek the truth in the Holy Bible. This was the one place I had
never looked for the nature of God, for it was this very book that my
mother had removed from our nation’s schools by her lawsuit in 1963.

Now awakened by the call of God I drove to a downtown discount
department store and there found a Bible under stacks of pornography.
The gay checkout clerk laughed at me for buying a Bible.

But, it was in this Bible that I found the truth about Jesus Christ.
The truth that sets every man free. That truth is that Jesus had paid
the price for my sin so I could be reborn and be a new man and have
the gift of eternal life. I learned that this gift was mine for the
asking. All I had to do was repent of my sins and ask Christ into my
life as Lord!

My life began again when I accepted Christ into my life. Your life
can begin again as did mine. Just say this simple salvation prayer:

" My Father in heaven. I repent of my sins and ask your forgiveness.
I believe Christ died as a sacrifice to pay for my sins. I want to be
born again and become a new creature in Christ. I now ask Jesus into
my heart as my Lord with the promise of living for Him."

Once you have said this prayer cast all the sinful things out of your
house and your life. Call a church at once and tell the minister
about your decision to follow Jesus. Attend church the very next
possible service.

P.S. the writer's mother was Malalyn Murray O'hare who was the
archibishop of the aetheist church and in 1963 she led that famous
Supreme Court case that completely ended prayers in all American
school. She prided herself in being called as the most hated woman in
America. Later her life, she and two memebers of her family were
abducted and murdered because of robbery... eventually they found the
killer to be a member of their aetheist movement. The truth set us
free from all bondage. God loves us all, and I do too, bye my friends
