Answer 1

I had a difficult childhood, the only time I heard the words God or Jesus were used with swear words. Abuse. Divorce. Poverty. I had decided at a very young age there could not be a God bc he would not have made me go through all that I went through. Then college came. I went to a small Christian college only bc it was a good school and it was the closest to my home. Part of the curriculum included Old Testament Bible class and New Testament Bible class. I was surrounded by Christians. Slowly the walls came down, and I became a Christian. We found a church and I was baptised. Getting saved is the best decision you can ever make! Looking back I realize God does allow bad things to happen but he has his reasons and I feel I am a strong person because of what I had been through.

Answer 2

I'm going to give you the copy/paste from my profile, written only today. It explains everything, and I wrote it because I've been flooded with mail for the last 2 days, ever since my *outing.*

I'm too new at this to really have an answer as to how things have changed for me, except for a feeling of peace. I would liken it to a feeling of having come home.

About me: By now, most of you have learned the news about my *outing,* and I don't think there are more than a dozen of you that I haven't heard from, lol.

The two questions everyone is asking are: Is it true that you are a Christian? How did this happen?

Yes, as of Sept. 25, it's true. How it happened is a little more complicated, but I'll try to be brief.

For 32 years I demanded proof of God's existence. I asked for signs and wonders, all of which were delivered. But for 32 years, I shut my eyes, refusing to see.

A series of events that spanned years could finally be ignored no longer. There were answered prayers, small miracles, life-saving events, and uncanny occurances. On their own, they were nothing more than coincidence. Put together, they formed a picture more wonderous than ever I could have imagined.

I'm still the same person, my morals and values haven't changed. I continue to stand for the same things, except I no longer believe that I stand alone.

Answer 3

I'm not Christian, and I'm not atheist either, athough I used to be an atheist.

Answer 4

Some Christians used to be mad at God (they call that being an Atheist).

A true Atheist would never go back to believing fairy tales
