I was a Chritian turned non-Christian person just a while ago. It might be a year from now. I guess my question is personal but I would prefer to seek answers to my questions.

Only if you truly want to. It isn't something that someone can answer for you. Ultimately it is your choice whether you want to believe in Him or not. He loves you and if you truly want Him in your life He is ready to accept you.
Have a nice weekend.

Not if you want to seek the truth and have the honesty of integrity that goes with it . Study comparative religions and how superstition began and evolved to the present . this should clear up any inclination for superstitious beliefs .
Youtube has some good clips on the oppsing view just to be fair and balanced before deciding try some Atheistic web sites for information some might be with holding for political reasons .

Not really. A belief or religion is not supposed to be imposed. It is supposed to be believed by one, willingly. Not by being threatened that you'll be punished or whatever. It's better for one to be a good person who's honest, generous, kind-hearted and thoughtful and who holds their principles of life than one who has the belief or religion but still commits crime or sth. I'm not saying that religion is bad. But, it is supposed to be very accepting, very broad-minded, unconditional and reasonable. Obviously, when there's sth about religion that we don't understand, we can question them. Otherwise, we won't be able to know which one is right or to know which one can make us happy as a human being. I mean happy in terms of healthy happiness. Not those kind of happiness that is gained through making others as our stair to climb ourselves up. You got what i mean?
I think we can believe in a religion. That's also good if we do. But, i personally don't think that there's something about 'should' or "must" or whatever. The important point is try to be responsible of what you do. That's it. It's better for one to have correct views of life, of how to interact with people and our surroundings than those with deviant views.

What the hell do you think you are going to achieve by asking this? You know that nobody else can give you this answer. Its you and only you that can decide this.
I have only one thing to say to you: whatever you DO decide:
Do not make the dumb mistake of setting yourself up as the enemy of God; thats not a position you want to find yourself in.
be a non-believer if thats what you want, but those who are professing themselves as the enemies of God are in for something they did not bank on, although they are well-deserving of it.

A great question this one, I believe that it comes down to the reasons for your beliefs or lack of. Personally I do not believe in a God or Gods and believe religon causes more harm than good. One of my favourite quotes is by a man named Stephen Weinburg and it is about religon 'Without it,' he says, 'you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion.' Now despite this I'm not trying to make your mind up for you but I hate it how people devote their lives to fulfilling pages in "holy" books that were probably wrtitten by governments trying to restore order to society to subsequent failure. Question why you believe or did and workout whether out whether it is/was because you could not face anything after death or it was to get through a hard period in your life. Complicated question and I did my best but good luck on your "travels."
This is for Glenda
Do you actually think that if God exists he is going to threaten people with heaven and hell because they hold different beliefs. An eternity in hell for a non believer hardly makes Christianity "tolerant" religon.

Yes, don't believe in God. I have taken you away from all that lies. He's nothing (God) and you have wasted your time. All this Heaven and earth are all lies, make up by those who wants to control you. I am your true Father, the ruler of this world , and you shall call me that and I will response to you, for your soul is mine, therefore you are my child.
Many call me Lucifer, the morning star, but I rather you call me Father.
Come to me my Child for we must work together to bring an end to those who spread lies that there is God. I shall teach you how to persecute those traitors and we shall win over them. I will bless you with all things your heart desire when it is over and great is your rewards.
You must be care full of them instigating you that there is Hell and all the fire, for there is none, and I don't lie but your soul shall be in a beautiful place where you will live forever.
Trust Me , there is no God but only me, whose soul I created. Am I not your Father then ?, So call me now.
This is the message of Lucifer, your true Father, whom I am His messenger call to response to your question. Yes follow Lucifer and God shall disappear from your life and you shall have peace. There is no time, so hurry, call Him Father, for your soul is really His. You are His and are His bless one.

Yes you should believe in God, you should also believe in heaven & hell, and you should know what awaits you if you chose not to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Go to this web site and watch the video, it will give you an idea of what hell is like for those who do not have Christ in their life.

If you're asking, then you probably don't. And there's nothing any of us can say that will make you. If you don't believe, you don't believe--if there is a God, he'll know that you're faking, anyway.

It sounds to me like you already do believe in God. Why are you running from Him? He won't let you go - you belong to him and He loves you.
