Any literature about a man pushed to the brink of suicide through sin, then reformed through the grace of God? Former atheist here, this newfound belief is amazing yet confusing

The middle part of Joyce's Potrait of an Artist as a Young Man is similar to what you're describing

Read some neurology books about how your body produces certain chemicals out of a desperate attempt to preserve your life. Also read some literature on schizophrenia and other mental illnesses to discover more about faith in general.

notice how they cannot refute anything, simply give ad hominems. Guarantee that none of them have a high education in the sciences and therefore have no idea what they are petulantly refusing.

you can't have a logically consistent model of science without Christianity. read the church father's presuppositional critiques
also modern academia's specialization is a joke and purposefully makes you a dumb dumb

>out of a desperate attempt to preserve your life
what 'life' retard? do atoms bind by chance (causality) in order to create such structures/representations we call humans, animals, bacteria, etc? If so, raping your little sister would be quintessentially similar to hitting a rock. Just as causality 'acts' onto the rock and the rock further 'responds' in some way, particles in a human being raped follow obvious patterns.
