I wish I didn't fell for the atheist meme, is there any way back? At some point I even started believing that god may exist, but I can't believe that he ever did something that the abrahamic religions claim (like the prophets, his son, the chosen people or their holy books)
It was Matthew 26 if anyone is curious Recommend me books on the subject
You're fortunate to have gone through an atheist phase. Now, you can start obtaining and building spirituality on your own terms. Don't trust the gatekeepers.

of course there is a way back.
now if you want some celestial black humor try the book of Jonah
Isaiah Bennett
it doesn't even matter if Christ was real or not, everything he said was true. By extension your conception of what is real doesn't matter, it's flawed. Read Shestov and go back to God. Christ isn't real or not real, he is the Truth.
im lost and can't find my way back, but everyone I know who is actually ok believes in God and everything i love came from God, i can at least see that. I wish i weren't so arrogant and broken, so i could go back, but i can't.

Consider the fact that the bible was written by dozens of authors over centuries of time, contains prophesies that have been fulfilled.
One of the most amazing series of prophecies had to do with Cyrus the Great, who is named in the bible long before he was born in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah is said to have lived sometime in the 8th century BC, but Cyrus wasn't born until the 6th century BC.
Even more incredibly, the historian Josephus wrote in his Antiquities of the Jews that he Jews in Babylonian captivity showed Cyrus the prophecies of the Old Testament scriptures which contain his name and this was at least partially responsible for Cyrus allowing the Jews to return to Israel.
Furthermore, Alexander the Great was also a believer in biblical prophecy, again attested by Josephus, again in his Antiquities of the Jews, where he mentions an account of Alexander going into the Jewish temple, offering a sacrifice to God, and being shown the book of Daniel where Alexander believed he was the one indicated in the text who would overthrow the Persian empire.

>Seeing metaphysical revelations of the infinite unknown through faith in order to transcend the physical plain as magic. This is actualy pagoid level thought. Even if you are Atheist at least pick up a Critique of pure reason.
