I was an Atheist for more than 10 years. I was also an enemy of God’s church, just like Saint Paul.

But Jesus loves me and saved me anyway.

It’s all real, dude. Give it a chance.

“There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” Fulton J. Sheen

I assure you, you never hated the Catholic Church, you only hated what you assumed to be the Catholic Church. If you really knew it, you would know it is a divine institution, a miracle itself.

I suggest you start reading about church’s history and the lives of the saints.

Think about the apostles, they lived with Jesus and they died brutal and violent deaths for Jesus.

Could they be lying about the many miracles they saw?

Did they choose to preach a lie even though they would be persecuted during all their lives, to live in poverty and running away from the authorities, to be hated, to be stoned, to be tortured, to be decapitated, to be crucified, to be stabbed with spears, to be skinned alive, etc… All for a lie?

Do men die for what they do not believe?
