Yes, since I have accepted Christ as my savior my life has been a lot more fulfilling. There seems to be more purpose in my life and I try to live as Christ taught us. It is amazing how much more you gain in life if you put your life to serving God. I used to serve myself, my family, and friends, and I was always exhausted. Now I serve my family, friends, and myself through God. It is simply amazing. My life has never been this good.

In the beginning it was a millstone around my neck which I crushed after tossing it to the ground. And I rejoiced becuase I was free from it's opression. Yet the memory of the lies and deceit among the other bearers of millstones keep me living a moral life where I am the one taking responsibility for my actions instead of blaming it on The Scapegoat.

Christianity formed the basis of my conception of the universe from the time I was able to understand concepts until the start of adulthood.
It gave me values handed down from the father and preached by his son and followers.
Then later on in life it gave me a unique perspective on individuals who are dillusional. It gave me a ton of angst for the principals that the religion is founded upon and the zealots that chant it's authority and validity in the world. It has been the source of a negative force in my life. It has given me a unique opportunity to come to terms with my anger and frustration at the individuals and cornerstones of something that I believe has no merit whatsoever.

I think it was really God's grace for choosing me otherwise where I would be.I am nothing,but today whatever I am is only because of Jesus.Yes it is very true from Bible,that many are called and only few are choosen.Yes,we may have got salvation,but only those people who live according to the will of God will go to Heaven.I pray to God,that I should spend more time in God's presence and pray,only then I will know God's will and live accordingly.

Grace and peace be yours in abundance. I have a fullfilment that comes from my faith that i would not trade for ANYTHING else in this world or the next. god has blessed me in soomany ways that I could never let Him down or turn my back on Him. I'm not perfect, but I feel called to dedicate my life fully to God and hi service as either a Priest or a Monk(Eastern Orthodox).

My parents make unsensitive coments about God, not even caring about my religion, which does not believe in God. It really offends me. Plus the people at my school are against my religion, and tend to criticize me and say I will curse them if someone makes me mad. Christianity has been my religion for most of my life, and I never believed in it. And since I've changed my religion, its become a nuisance.

I was raised christian, then I grew out of it. Took years to learn that I am a valuable human being. My personality and role in the community does not have to be dictated by my genitals. And I can run my own life and do a better job than anyone else can.
I hope everyone else is as lucky as I am.

by giving me the knowledge needed to not the bad things i used to.
1 Cor. 15:33 Do not be misled. Bad associations spoil useful habits. 34 Wake up to soberness in a righteous way and do not practice sin, for some are without knowledge of God. I am speaking to move Yyou to shame.

The world became very interesting to me, as if everything went from black and white to color. I also started reading voraciously on almost every topic, but mostly philosophy. I'd say it gave me intellectual curiosity when before I was just a narcissist.

It did teach me good morals and caused me to question everything. I soon realized that I can be a better person without religion in my life.
