Pastor Who Gave Up Religion For A Year To Test His Faith Says He Might Not Go Back

This article linked above was just posted in the Google+ Atheism group I joined up with to see what kind of silly memes and posts these guys post. This was one of them. It's a bit annoying to me that they think this might be some kind of evidence that God doesn't exist. Christians of all stripes lose their faith all the time (but many atheists come to faith all the time as well). Pastors and priests lose their faith all the time (but also many atheists become Christians and become leaders as well). All these cases neither prove God exists nor disprove him. All it proves is that it is  part of the human experience to seek out an ideal which satisfies their need to answer their life's questions. I being a Catholic only have this to say about this man, he wasn't Catholic and so wasn't in the original form of Christianity anyway, and furthermore, he leaving Adventism and belief could only prove (if he remains that way til death) that he wasn't predestined for salvation. I'd advise praying for him but he also has free will and if he is not willing he will not budge. God will use Mr. Bell in one way or another, for his glory.
