I grew up in a Wiccan environment. Now, I'm a theistic Satanist. I changed because I relate to the God/Satan aspects of the forces of the universe better, and the philosophy agrees more with my personal beliefs.
Okay, your turn. What did you use to believe, what do you believe now, and what made you change your mind?

Yes, I grew up a Christian, and I started to have questions about the New Testament, because I couldn't see how Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament. After much study, I began to believe very strongly in Judaism, and I studied it for many years. I was going to convert, but before I did, I forced myself to face some doubts that I had about Judaism, and I realized that I didn't believe in it anymore, at least not in the literal way I used to. I did much study of world religions, and I kept coming back to Hinduism because I loved its scriptures, and could relate to its practices and beliefs. I am now a Hindu.

I was raised a Christian Scientist.
I became an agnostic in High School.
I became a born again christian in college for a few weeks.
I became an atheist after that and have been for 13 years now.
Christian Science was and is a bit ridiculous to me. In college I thought I had "found" God. Then I realized I was just being arrogant by thinking I had all the answers. That made me question everything in a way I never really had before. I feel I'm a much better and happier person for it.

I was raised Christian, and then after half my family died, I questioned my belief. I started researching in lots of different religions, and ended up with one that was something of a mixture. I was at one point a High Priestess in a coven, and I taught classes about magick and energy. I practiced for almost five years.
Now I am Christian, and I don't know if I could pinpoint exactly what happened that I decided that the life I was living was wrong and decided to choose Christianity. An epiphany, maybe. I guess you could say I just woke up one day and understood. I believe that there is a lot more to life that is not in the Bible, but I firmly believe in Christ and what His death meant.

I when i was a child went to A Church called The Salvation Army Church but for over 40 plus years I have attended The Seventh Day Adventist Church because [and this is the ONLY reason to belong to any church] is that what is taught is in line [without taking anything out of context] with a IT IS WRITTEN, Seventh day because the seventh day [from sundown friday until sundown saturday] is The Sabbath of The Lord thy God and Adventist because we are looking foward to the soon appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and my friend with you being a satan believer if that is what i understood you will find yourself in the WRONG resurrection, find out more free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org OR www.itiswritten.com talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless

I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. Now I am a born-again believer. What made me change was finding out the truth: that Jesus Christ, and not any organization is the only way to heaven. Also, salvation is not by works, but by grace.

I believed in a single god and now I don't believe in any.
There are still theistic Satanists? Awesome.

I believe that all major religions teach only Truth. Hence it is immaterial whether we follow this one or that one. As long as we have faith in the chosen religious doctrines, no need to switch over since all religions talk in the same assertion that God is Love, Truth and Wisdom incarnate. Since there was much confusion in interpretation of the teachings, I follow Sai Baba who teaches the essential unity of all the religions of the world.

Yes, I grew up catholic and then I tried tarot cards that led to wicca. I found out that it was the works of satan and was very deceived, as satan lies. I am very thankful to my brother-in-law and his friend who witnessed the true Gospel of Jesus Christ to me. I am now a born again Christian and a follower of Jesus. I only hope some day you too will find salvation through Jesus Christ.
