anyone gone from a non-believer to a believer?

For most of my life I've been agnostic. I never really knew what I believed but I definitely have never been actively part of any religion. I've made a lot of Jesus jokes. lol.
I mean;, I believe in science: big bang theory, evolution... And I believe that Jesus was just a normal man who was spreading some kind of story about an Almighty god, but he wasn't a miracle worker, he was just a man and not until years (even centuries) after his death was he made into the holy "Jesus Christ".
So yea, I don't exactly believe the stories in the Bible, but I am starting to believe in some sort of Higher Power, God, if you will. Which to me is not a person, but, as I said, a power. It is sth untouchable and unseeable.

But when do you really believe? And then what religion am I? Or am I no religion. And then if I do really BELIEVE (but how will I ever really know that I believe?) what am I? Cos then I wouldn't be agnostic either?

I do am also starting to believe in the power of prayer (and gospel and the likes), not in that God (I will call the power that because "the power" reminds me of star wars or sth, like "The Force") will give you what you pray or, but that praying can comfort people and guide and help them through difficult times.

As you can see, I've really been struggling with these issues. So: discuss!

Oh, and what are those churches called in America where they sing gospel and dance. It's mainly black people I think.
I forgot the name!

I would love to go to one of those churches. For the same reason I mentioned above, i believe it can really help you through difficult times.

I was a total non believer until I read a book by H. Emillie Cady and I was a believer from then on.

I think you mean Baptist churches. I've been to a couple and it's quite inspiring, except when someone gets the holy ghost...then it gets kinda spooky when women throw themselves to the floor speaking in tongues.

I totally believe in God, I should be dead many times over and yet I'm still here. Apparently I have something important to do.

I've overdosed so many times and survived, it's got to be God. It sure ain't me, with the way I've abused my body...chain-smoking, too many pills, eating disorders and little or no sleep.


Thank you, God. I'm still here
