How did you come to it, how has it changed your life?

thanks for some great, and thoughtful answers!
And to Josie, I would never say you worship the devil, I'm a pagan! I believe all spiritual paths lead to the same place, so we should accept everyone's chosen method of getting there!

now that's a good question... basically, by meditation and prayer is my practice... and it comes to me by conversation, by what I read, by how people speak and how my heart listens.. and my life has changed by being more compassionate for those that i don't know and those who i know... more patience, less anger, less frustration, less negativity

I'm wiccan. I came to it through a guy I dated several years ago. (really bad guy) but the religion interested me so I read on it. I agreed with what was said about it and have found peace. Its really hard to describe how it has changed my life. I was raised christian and would go to different churches in search of the peace and love that christians are always talking about. I was always disappointed because I couldn't find what I was looking for. I found it in the wiccan religion and am at peace and find the strenght to get through any situation in my life. I used to ask unanswerable questions, and I found those answers in being a witch. (NO i'm not a devil worshipper)

I came to the Baha'i Faith through borrowing books from my high school English teacher. I found the books fascinating and, later, when I began to use the prayers, I found them powerful and peaceful.
I practice my religion because I believe it is the truth and the way to live for ultimate happiness.

I practice my religion because I believe there is a God and he loves us dearly and has a plan for our lives. I would need about a hundred pages to tell you just how much it has changed my life. LOL Lets just wrap it up in a neat bundle and tell you the number one thing. I have a wonderful church family who would give the shirt on their backs to a complete stranger if they needed it. A family like that can never be replaced.

as a non believer I work to maintain the honor and integrity that I've come to reason makes sense . I have no personal god other than nature but one say my philosphies are a way of life and hence a personal or private religion.

Religion not come to me, but God revealed Himself through Jesus by doing miracle in my body that changed my life after reading The Bible with the anointing of the Holy spirit.
It is difficult to understand, but for those who believe it will happen to them.

Because I thought about religions all over the world ... they all say the same basic thing.
And, I believe in that.
Thanks
