faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1, all of us are born atheist, and even though I was raised Catholic I did not believe in God in the true sense of the word believe but I had a praying mother and at the age of 31 in 1994 I experienced what is called the conviction of sin found in John 16:8 - 9 and the new birth found in John 3 that Jesus talked about, and those experiences right there changed my whole life until this very day.
