Never.
I wondered what other religions/denominations taught, and wondered if they were more fitted to my spiritual needs than Catholicism, but after trying a bunch, I came back to the Church, grateful and glad.
But I never was really tempted not to believe in God or Jesus. Guess I'm lucky.

66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

Never. Through Jesus, I have hope for an eternal life in the presence of God...what can any other belief offer me that compares to that?

I became a Christian when Jesus changed my life.
I grew up in a home that didn't believe in Jesus. We were taught that Jesus was a liar, possibly a lunatic, a deceiver, and above all else, dead.
When I met Jesus, I could no longer deny His existence.
He changed my life, set me free from all my sins, forgave me, and gave me a new heart.
I could no longer quit believing in God and Jesus than I could quit believing that I exist.

Sweet Pea no, because faith is the substance of things hoped for. We shouldn't walk on how we feel, but the trust that God has given us through is word!

Im first generation. I dont like christianity becuse of the emphasis on conformity and the emphasis that individual and different are not worth celebrating.

Yes, there has been times when I have questioned my faith and simply wanted to just give up. Its those times when I re-evaluate myself and my situation, and I've always ended up returning to my faith.
Sometimes we need to take time out and understand why we believe what we believe, and whether or not we are on the right path. Its these times that either reinforce our faith, or show us that its time to consider change. God wants you to follow him, but he wants you to follow him whole-heartedly and not simply out of obligation.

Well, mine was reverse. I was an atheist for 20 years, until I found Christ and I have had great peace since then. I will never go back to the way I was. There is no way.

Nope, not even slightly. I am blessed to be an adopted child of the King! Why would I even be slightly interested in leaving His family? He gave me eternal life!
Jesus loves you and so do I!
