I know that I did... because as humans we doubt... we can't see God, so it's hard to believe that He is really there.
But today, I'm happy to say... that after searching and researching and seeking and meditating and praying, and looking to the world for answers... I AM Baaaaaaaaaaack!
DISCLAIMER:
This is a question for Christians... not to stir up negativity among those who do not believe in Christ! Thanks!

Jesus Christ of Nazareth Son of God is a revelation to save mankind from sins of the world, with the gift of eternal life.
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Tts 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hbr 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Hbr 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Yes I was born into the Catholic faith and baptized as an infant. There has never been a time when I did not know God.
For a time, I attended the Orthodox churches as a "refuge" from the crazy and modern stuff that had infected the Catholic Church.
But I returned home to Rome many years back because I realized that flawed as her members may be the Catholic Church is still the true church that Christ established. Her teachings have never been compromised even though many choose not to follow them.
God bless you.

I was born into an open-minded household, and no religion was forced upon me.. I studied a bit of everything and have taken in a little bit from all religions. There are people all over the world who feel that their religion is 100% right, so who can really say they are wrong, and why would God punish them for it?
Many of these people never know anything about any other religions, so how can they be expect to convert for that matter?
I think it's good to keep an open mind and simply have faith in the man upstairs, and know that he is going to take care of us, no matter who we are. All we have to do is be good people, and live with love in our hearts.

Hi, am not sure I was so much borned in faith, think the faith came later, I did my share of running the other way, cause when I was small they taught me to fear God, they didn't say why, so as a kid I did fear Him, and I ran as fast as I could and down the wrong road. Then later I learned the meaning of fear and realized I had been fearing God the wrong way, and it took awhile to turn myself around and seek God, but Thank God I have... have you ever ventured off to seek God away from Christianity, yes I have.....

I was raised in a Christian home and I definitely rebelled and sought God elsewhere. As a teenager I turned to Wicca and other new age beliefs. As a college student and young adult, I became immersed in Buddhism and Taoism. I even studied the teachings of Meher Baba. But in the end, only Christianity offered me the comfort and hope I was seeking. And it was the only one with the ring of truth to it. In other religions I sought God, in Christianity I found Him. Hallelujah!

Yes, I went through a period in my life recently where evrything was going really well for me and I just didn't have time for God and to be honest didn't really want him interfering. But then I guess I got lonely and constantly worrying with my conscience but know I am back where I was before. Maybe I'm even closer with him because I know see what a mess my life would be without him.

No. I was born into a Athiest household, where I was taught how to use drugs and how to rob and burglarize people and their homes. I eventually went away to prison, where I became "addicted" to gay sex - it replaced my meth habit. But, inside prison, I also discovered the power of Jesus and the transformation he has had on my life! to this day, I havent gone back to the meth, and while I still "yearn" for a man's touch, prayer through Christ gets me through it!!! Im not longer ill with the disease of gayness or meth - all thanks to Jesus.
Why would I walk away from that?

I was raised as a Christian and I have studied a few other religions -- and I think that my idea of Christ and his teachings are also relfected in other religions as well -- other religions simply worship a different way -- and I'm talking those that worship a single god and not multiple gods or cows.
