For me it was becoming fully aware and owning what had happened to me as a child. It changed everything, it made everything more of a challenge...but I could never go back to the person I was before that happened. What was your point of no return?

my point of no return was when i learned the rules of the chess-game. I started to think for myself and questioning the teachings of the church-fathers. Chess was the turning point, or well it was a tre-pied = three-forked road , behind the road with teeth, one leg left and one leg right , no turning point

good question. i was agnostic (usually leaning toward atheism) until about a year ago. i can't really explain the feeling that caused me to make up my mind. if you have not recieved the Holy Spirit, you just don't know. to me, that's the difference between a conversion and a decision- i had a hand in it, but i didn't really choose to believe... i just started believing, which still puzzles me to this day. it wasn't the result of a bunch of amped-up super-christians around me- i was all alone in my bedroom, praying to a God who i wasn't sure existed. but He made His presence known to me that day, with no uncertainty, and i haven't been the same since. i cannot and will not deny God, no matter what happens. i would feel like i was lying to myself. as with you, it made everything more of a challenge. i had to abandon certain aspects of my life (no more occasional drinking or smoking weed, no more pre-marital sex, cussing, etc, etc.), but it has caused me to become a stronger, wiser, happier, and generally better person. that's not intended to be a judgment on non-christians, only a reflection on who i am compared to who i was.

the last ime I fell into the pit I couldn't get out of without the help of God. it was deeper than all the other pits I dug for myself..you know keeps me going going forward to the goal, to God. that old saying, "Been there, Done that, And don't wanna go back" when the temptations starts to hit me hard I start repeating that old saying, I know it may sound crazy to many but I think of where I was and do I realy want to go back.. nay

I can't say there is no point of no return, other than death. It's unlikely I will revisit earlier times but not impossible.

When I started taking science classes in high school.
I could not unlearn enough stuff so that I could believe in religion again.
There was no turning back, for I could not regain my ignorance, and rejoin the church folks.

When something happened to cause me to know there was no turning back. About 45 years ago.

After being visited by a messenger, there was no turning back.

Once my eyes were opened there is no going back ever...we cannot 'not see' after we have seen...
It was after I vowed to cut through the delusion of existence...

When I realized that God was my true nature. Can't really go back after that.
