Started out in one of the Byzantine Rites, dabbled in many others, Mennonite, baptist, paganism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Native American, Baha'is, Jehovah's Witnesses, yes, even looked into Scientology, although I didn't study Judaism, so I can't say I studied that, but I always found spiritual food in the Catholic Church. I felt...fed there. I don't know how else to explain it. Buddhism came a very close second, except for one concept. I still feel very connected to all the religions that I studied. (Oh, and I studied Satanism as well) Satanism is the only religion that scared the crap out of me. I did not study it for very long, and ever afterwards prayed long and hard. The Catholic faith has something, I don't know what. It is like being out in the field subject to every whim of weather and attacked on every side by all kinds of tribulations, then coming into a fortress so strong you know that nothing will prevail against it. All that is said about it is like so much flotsam and jetsam, and meaninglessness that anyone trying to take it down is a mere mouse against its strength.

Born and raised, and educated as a Roman Catholic.
Converted to a Protestant in Bible teaching church.
I wanted my kids to learn about Jesus while in the Sunday School program, not draw pictures of Santa and the Easter Bunny during Christianity's most important holidays.

I converted to Catholicness when I was 9 all the way up to 31. Then, I converted to Judism. Why? my mother wanted to be Catholic and for the next one, I was called for it.

Born and raised Catholic, forced to go to Church and CCD classes. I too "escaped" and converted to Buddhism. The Catholic Church is too money hungry and hypocritical too me. I also do not believe that the bible is anything more than an embellishment of the life of Jesus Christ. Mom is still a devout Catholic though, but she has accepted my conversion.

I was born and raised Catholic.
Won awards for having the capability to recite scriptures and such at an early age.
Communion!
Confirmation!
Oops! Then Gay!
I converted to Buddhism when I was told I would go to hell if I didn't change. God didn't tell me that. A man in a nice black dress claiming to repesent him told me that.

I converted to Catholicism because when I tried to prove it false, I instead became convinced it was the One True Faith.
