Experience with God can take many forms, not only prayer.

For me, I spent many years denying and blocking God from my life.

When I learned he was right there the whole time, I was a little embarrassed and more than happy to know that God cared.

Now I can know and feel God most when I am quiet, unassuming, listening...most often meditating or in a 12-step program meeting.

I am grateful that my problems with addiction can be relieved on a daily basis when I experience God on a daily basis.

Maybe because they know that if they were to criticize Islam, they'd be dead.

How true. Let them try to open an abortion clinic in Iran. Or spout off about homosexuality, etc.

They put on fearful mask regarding Christianity, but underneath that mask they are not afraid. Far from it.
