I believe God comes to all of us in his own way and own time, I understand the non belief theres too much pain and hurt in this world to believe theres a God who loves us.
Personal pride is like a wall we build between us and God, we walk around and say "I went to school, I got the job, I got the money, I got the wife, I got the stuff", each one of those "I's" are like a brick we're laying down building a wall between us and God and creating a rat maze of our own making we're then trapped in.
One day we say "I got all the stuff and feel secure, and now I think I'll go looking for God and I agree I will worship him, but only if he agrees with me". It doesnt work that way, the wall has to come down first, it did for me.
But I do try to stay open to other points of view I dont think the republicans are right about every issue and I dont think the dems are wrong about everything, lately I've just been tired of being blamed for the ills of all people just for the crime of having been born white.
