I was a Christian and the post I have seen here make me feel sorry I was one , they have confirmed my choice, I now do not belong to any religion even if I believe in God. Has anyone changed from one belief to another if so why ?or WHAT life experience brought you to that path? THANK YOU

I was a Christian, now I'm agnostic. It was a number of factors really. There wasn't just one thing that made me change, it was a process.

I was raised Catholic. I found the church to be nothing but greedy and self contradicting. I have tried quite a few different religions, and I have found while I very much believe in God and live my life pretty much in accordance with the Ten commandments, I don't follow any religion. I truly think religion just takes a good idea and confuses or even warps it. I just try to be a good person. And I think everyone can worship God in their own way. Even if it is just a short prayer while on the toilet.

I became a Christian at age 13 by myself alone in a room with my Bible. Years later I was baptized. I have never changed my mind. Even some misinformed or ignorant people, even people who call themselves Christians but are not, even mean words or insults will not change my mind about my Savior. I am sorry for what others do or say! As for me I will love the Lord!

Well, I was a christian and then I began to see through all the improbable lies. I spent a couple years searching, trying different religions and ending up deciding there were none out there that really fit my beliefs. I knew I was pantheistic, but beyond that I couldn't find any established religion that fit. So I ended up writing out my own philosophy and beliefs. Hopefully someday I'll publish them, but maybe not.

Don't feel sorry, it's a lesson . That's the first lesson in this classroom we call life. Choose none they are all around and all inside, you already know the answers, I've studied all the religions, the secret schools, the pagans, the shamans, and their is a seed of truth in them all, don't be a sheep. If God is all loving , then think about it, none of the other stuff even makes a bit of sense.
I AM

I was confronted with judgement, rigidity, lack of investigation, complete lack of questioning, illogic, contradictions, and attack when I was a christian. I felt none of the love, just rules and things that weren't questioned because they were ingrained into people's identity. I find christianity (and the bible) to be so far away from Jesus' original message that to follow either one is to follow an ego-based god and an ego-based jesus that hides the real ones. And the same is true with Judaism and Islam -- people didn't like the message of real spirituality and love and so they changed it to make god and

I believe there is a God, I was raised Catholic. I now don't believe in organized religion. I know that from what I read here, there are religions I would not look to for answers. Yeah, I am at a crossroad, and am looking for answers. I can look for answers without going to hear someone preach his or her beliefs to me. Those are their answers, not mine. I honestly do not know what happened, but it has been over 15 years I have been not practicing any religion. I have learned more on my own. God knows I believe in him, and that is what matters to me.

My fundamental belief in Jesus Christ as Savior, no. But I have found as I have matured both physically and spiritually I have become much less judgmental of those (myself included) who struggle with sin. I have found that things are not as black and white as I once thought they were. I have found that I am much less dogmatic about my doctrinal beliefs. So have I changed? Without a doubt. Have I forsaken my Lord Jesus Christ? No.

i was raised as a Catholic, basically forced to believe in God. when i was old enough to make my own choice, i became a non-believer. i have seen the damage that religion does to people. not to mention the priests constantly trying to touch us girls up when we were little school-girls.

I was Catholic and now I am a mystic. I believe in God, but the Catholic religion was just not right for me. Practicing my craft is fulfilling.
