I am not proud to admit it, but I was angry and couldn't understand why I was going through what I was at the time. I was a very dedicated Christian and very active in my church. I just turned my back and walked away from God and out into the world to live a completely different life! But you see, I couldn't run from God forever. I could never get
God off of my mind because I knew what I was doing was wrong. This went on for fifteen years before I turned back to God and my faith was renewed. While I was living for the world, God showed me the contrast between my two lives and I knew I couldn't make it any longer without Him. So you see, some Christians lose their faith in God in trying times. But once you have known God and had a personal relationship with Him you cannot go another way for very long without wanting to run back to God! I wish I had been as strong in my faith as Tripodo was!
Your experience is very similar to mine. I'm afraid I have to disagree that most Christians don't lose their faith in God after a traumatic event. On the contrary, I've seen so many people turn and walk out on God. Ron exhibited uncommon faith and that is very admrable.

At some point, we could start feeling guilty concerning our doubts and anger towards God. Then cry for forgiveness. God is a loving father, and would accept us with open arms.

17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

I agree with this. Most people let go of their faith but don't speak about it. It exists and in a high volume as wellVictoria Ukamaka wrote: ↑05 Sep 2022, 08:07 Most stories where people recount their experiences are done when they have gone through that experience and emerged victorious. Hence, it is not surprising for us to hear, read, or watch stories of people who held on to their faith when they lost a loved one.
That most of the people who let go of their faith in such situations don't tell their stories doesn't mean it is non existent or that they are not higher in the statistics. It's just a matter of who tell their stories and who doesn't.
