Curly-I'm just curious and wondering what made them change.

Christianity was forced upon me from an early age by my parents (as is so often the case with many young children who aren't allowed freedom of thought). I was able to free my mind from all that brainwashing crap in my late teens and lead a normal life.

Yes myself. Well I wasn't exactly just a Christian, I was a Catholic. I went to 9 years of Catholic School, had every sacrament except marriage and I was an Altar Server for 4 years. There was too much contradiction in the teachings and too many gaps in it for me. I do hold an interest in it and still ask questions about it to get a better understanding along with other religions.
I broke away and became an Agnostic in 1996. Then I was a Wiccan for a short time and eventually became the Solitary Eclectic which I am now.

I was a practicing Christian for over 30 years.
I've even baptized people.
But, according to some on these boards, I was never a "real Christian," nor do I know what I'm talking about. But, they do.
Uh-huh.... seems I've heard it before somewhere.. a long time ago.
How did I get over it? I used the intelligence God gave me and concluded there was no credible evidence to support God belief. The bible is a book of mythology and Christianity is based on lies.
IF the bible was even remotely true, it was inspired by Satan.
Fortunately for bible believers, it is not true.

I used to be an actor in dramas and played in the church band. I also went to 3 mission trips all across the world. There just comes a time where you realize what the world is really like. The ultimate test of faith comes with growing up.

Me, I was very active but didn't so much witness ...but I am with you. I don't think I call myself a Christian anymore because the faith is too shaky for me and I have too many doubts. The people at my church were way too judgemental and tried to force things on members. Okay, so I got preggers outside of marriage, but they tried to force us (me and bf) to get married and I was not having that. Futher, they made him step down from his position as armorbearer - whoa! so i just started to believe it wasn't for me. I am still trying to figure myself into it, but I don't know if its foundation is credible.

Yes, I used to go to church all the time growing up. But I never felt anything, never got close to God. Too many others were in my way. Now that I don't go to church anymore, i almost feel more connected and aware of God.
I don't know if I would call myself Christian anymore, though

I used to be a very active Christian. Now I am not an ex-Christian, but I don't go to church. I also don't believe clergy in general practice what they preach. It's all about fleecing their flock in my opinion.

I am one who has walked away from the Christian faith. I found lies that did not support what it claims to be. I was given the religion as a child. It was handed to me and it was handed to my parents. I chose to research it and study it and draw my on conclusions. I chose to walk away and seek my own path. I'm very happy with my choice.

I used to be very active in Catholic but for the past 4 years, I don't.
I don't know but I'm just not a church goer.
My parent used to forced me to go to church every sunday, if I didn't they complained about it.
