Quote by Alicia Britt Chole
Truth to me was dead, God had never lived, life was full of pain, and death was the end of life. As a young Atheist, I sincerely believed that man had created God to fill the gaps in knowledge that would never be spanned by experience, reason, or science. In 1983 the God who pursues those who deny him interrupted my existence, he captured my soul with raw love. Two decades later, God's tangible friendship still amazes me. To deny his existence I'd have to first deny my own.
Summary

Even after two decades, the speaker continues to be astonished by the tangible friendship and connection they experience with God. The quote implies that denying the existence of God would require denying the transformative personal experience and the deep sense of self that comes with it.
