It is so uplifting to me that a former atheist has had such a deep and unqualified conversion to being a Christ-follower.
And we all have those kind of unwanted thoughts at times, especially when we're suffering. Your transparency in sharing it helps me. I am working on being more transparent.
May our Lord wrap you and your wife in his loving arms and bring comfort and peace to you.
Thank you so much for your prayers. I might write a book one day about my conversion (after I am established permanently in the field -- don't want to ruin my career).
I would say I was mostly agnostic -- I did not know or care that God was there. How could it be that some being created this universe? The more I learned about astrophysics, the more I realized that God existed. It would take much too long to write everything down here. In any case, the day I was baptized was the best day of my life.
It will be a glorious day! I am much looking forward to that. This year has been brutal. I had the most depressing thought of my life this summer:
"At least our babies died so that I didn't have to watch their births on Zoom."
I am slowly recovering, and my wife even slower. But we place our suffering with God and know that He will bring us comfort.
