Anybody changed religion? What it feels like?

Answer 1

I was raised Catholic, used to go to church every sunday.
after studying for years Phylosophy, science, history I started questioning religionS,many things just DID NOT ADD UP, THEY WERE the opposite of what my heart and mind were telling me to be the truth. Religion has not given me the answers I had been searching for. I prayed and still pray, only trust my heart and I know God is in my heart I do not need a Church or a religion in between me and God. I do my best to follow the LAW OF God ,which is very simple LOVE. LOVE ONE ANOTHER, even when it is very challenging to do. LOVE IS ALL WE NEED AND with the power of love there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.
this is my religion .LOVE AND PEACE. God bless

Answer 2

There is great difference between changing religion and changing the name of religion.
If you are dissatisfied with something or some people in one religious association, then you completely cut off with it by joining another religious denomination, that is changing religion, or more precisely, changing religious affiliation. This is just some unhealthy human like or dislike.
As for the case of Saul the Jew, when he realized that Christ is the Messiah prophesied in the Torah, he accepted Christ and served His Cause, this Chrstian saint Paul did not change religion, but only changed the name of religion. He is still loyal to Moses, a previous Messenger of God.
All Messengers of the One True God clearly show respect to their previous Messengers and prophesied about the successive Ones, in the process of Progressive Revelation. Their true believers happily and thankfully accept the following religions and advance to the end without end. These believers bear the new names, but they are always truthful believers of the One True God.

Answer 3

My sisters and I were raised Catholic, I (we) never felt comfortable in the church. I just sort of pulled away like my sisters did. I still loved the Lord but was lost and really had no spiritual direction. My older sister began going to a Calvary Chapel, and she was so happy. I mean her entire life changed, it was just awesome. Then my sister got really sick, and I watched her still so full of joy. I could not imagine knowing I was going to die and leave behind my children. She was sick for a long long time and in so much pain but always filled with joy. Well, that was it, that was what I needed. She was non-denominational. I have peace always, no matter what is going on. Now I am the sick one and I am OK with it. Right now I am not going to die. If I did not have the faith I have I would not be able to handle the pain I am in.
I am not saying the church is responsible for the peace I know the Lord. It is important to be around others in your faith to congregate.

Answer 4

I change religions offically about 5 years ago but I started searching almost 10 years ago when I was still in high school. I was raised Roman Catholic but always found the religion completly empty for me. I researched other organized religions all thorough high school and early college but they were all completly empty to me as well. For a couple years I really thought I believed in nothing at all possibly being an athiest when I discovered Wicca. It fit everything that I have believed since I was child. For the first time I felt fulfilled and happy with my spiritual life. Since I converted I have evolved in my practice and now just consider myself Pagan but I have never been happier about a choice in my life.

Answer 5

I was raised Cathoholic. But even as a child I doubted what I was taught. I just knew it wasn't right. I left the church and it's dogma behind in my past and did so with a clean (and much relieved) conscious.

Answer 6

It was a very drastic spiritual change, and very scary at first. Now, though, I realize that it was one of the most important times in my life.

Answer 7

I left catholicity and as it was so deep in me it took quite a while to really appreciate the path of self-reliance that I had found.
Now I say ;"That was the best thing I ever did".

Answer 8

It feels better.
It's nice to know I used my own reason and life experiences to make this decision.

It feels strange.
It's scary to think my parents might have been right....and what if?

It's a risk I'm willing to take.

Answer 9

Catholic to pentacostal

Felt like the proper choice -
sort of like changing your underwear

Answer 10

I left the Christian faith after being a very, very strict adherant my entire life. It was traumatizing. I had nighmares and felt guilty for literally years.
