when your mind and/or soul was all clouds, harps, and haloes?
Why or why not?
This is a question for non-Christians.

No. But there are times here and there where I miss parts of it. Sometimes I'd like to believe that there's still some magic being that can absolve me of all the bad things I've done. But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Why do you ask this of non-Christians?
Do you assume that all of these people who are loudly saying that they don't believe in the Christian God used to be Christians?
A few of them, perhaps, but most of them truly have no idea what Christianity really is about.
As for me, I wish our entire American society could go back to our innocent, naive days of Christianity....when God and science co-existed quite well in our schools, in our communities...and yes, in our government.
Believe it or not, there really were such times. Before we let ONE woman who gpt all paranoid that her precious progeny might be in peril from, of all things, prayer, change our society forever.
Did you know that, back before that time, evolution was taught in the public schools? Everybody knew it. But nobody seemed to care much.
Funny thing, that. Where were all these "Creationists" screaming about teaching evolution as a fact?
Scientists went quietly about doing what scientists do...and nobody worried about whether or not this research or that might be violating God's law....although we see that much of what science has discovered has been used to destroy, rather than to heal. Come now...if we can clone sheep...if we can get clean drinking water from the ocean...why are there still children who don't have enough to eat or clean water to drink? If we can destroy the world severa ltimes over, why can't we bring power to these dying villages?
Why?
Alot has changed since those innocent carefree days....and none of it for the better.

A very small part of me does. Only because it was fun to believe in these imaginative stories and not question whether there was any truth or not behind it.
However, the majority of me really loves the huge weight lifted off my shoulders, the feeling of shame leaving, and the ability to think freely I now have since giving up those beliefs.

Nope. I never was a christian. Never did get the concept of, "Hey, look at me, I a man and i had a baby. His name is Adam. The I stole one of his ribs and made a girl that I named Eve! And they screwed each other and had kids. Then their kids screwed each other, and then those kids screwed each other basically meaning that you are always screwing part of your family!"

Absolutely not.
At this point, the only way back is a lobotomy, and I don't want invasive surgery that leaves a scar.

No... except, maybe, for one thing.
The Eucharist. Man, that was the best ever. Its taste reminds me of my paper-eating days.
Ah, the Nostalgia...

I'm glad I never had those days. Sounds horrible to me.
