The moment I asked Jesus to come into my heart, it was like suddenly a veil was lifted off my eyes of understanding. And I felt a great weight lift off of my body and felt like I was floating on air. The colors in the world looked more brilliant and clear. It was like being high but better because I could feel God's love and presence which I had not known was possible.

I was introduced to Christianity by my mother, because she would recount stories of going to an all-girls Catholic school. The nuns scared me, but the practices seemed interesting. However Christianity for me seemed like it was being wielded as an oppressive force, being a non-Abrahamic religion follower. It also seemed very very diluted from Christ's original teachings, or very perverted from the original aims.
Needless to say I didn't "accept Christ" in the formal sense, but I do accept His divinity.

As for the first question, I don't know. I was raised around Christianity, but I didn't really TRULY understand it until right before I became a Christian, almost five months ago.
How did I feel when I accepted Christ? Well, to paraphrase something that Lee Strobel wrote in his book "Case for Christ," it didn't feel so much like a leap of blind faith as it was baby steps into the light.

I felt trapped in a world of plastic people. And I was physically dragged up to the front of the church and made to accept Christ by my aunt. She basically made me lie to others and to myself. Of course I got over that real quick because it felt wrong. I stopped lying to myself immediately.
This is, in part, one of the many instances and reasons I turned away from Christianity.

I thought it was all so very silly. It didn't make sense and God was supposedly so loving but he was actually cruel and rude. I thought it was a load of bunk, I was five and had been raised with it. I never accepted Jesus, I have always thought it was a load of hogwash.

On top of the world.
With my life in his hands I could walk with head head high. It's a feeling I'd dreamed of forever...

... dunno. I was raised with a Catholic family. I didn't accept the religion and saw through it when I was still a kid.
