Christianity Conversion

[enchanted_one1975]

A simple poll...

Although I am concerned with those that became Christians and those that used to be Christians, I am leaving options that cover everyone. If You don't feel like sharing then don't vote! I don't need you posting to say there should have been an option like "prefer not to say." It's not there. Too bad!

I was Catholic (confirmed too...) but now am a happy hell-bound pagan

 

[Quiddity]

Where is the option for no religion to religion?

Shoot you may be my twin brother. The only sacraments I didn't get were Holy Orders and Last Rites. I was an altar boy though does that count? Oh boy us Pagans are a twisted breed.

I went to church growing up and sang in the choir, but I never thought of myself as a Christian or believed any of the Christian mythology was true as far as I can remember. I wasn't baptised since my mother thought my religion (whatever it would turn out to be) should be my own conscious choice.

Anyway, I picked "I never was a Christian" even though I used to sing in the choir. Hope that's not too confusing. My parents took me to church - wasn't my idea. Being in the choir made church less boring.

Nah, we're as normal as anyone.

Well so far it is just as I thought. There are more of us that got tired of "The Church" and went elsewhere than there are those that found comfort in "The Church" from elsewhere. Congratulations to those of you that have made it work for you though

Greetings!

Please note that while I was originally called a Christian, I became Baha'i 38 years ago, which STILL makes me Christian given that every Baha'i world wide accepts both Christ and the Bible as legitimate and God-sent!

Best regards,

Bruce

I've never been a Christian.

 

[Breathe]

I've been back and forth between religions. A few anyway .

My stay Christianity was quite a pleasant one, but it had things that I was not keen on, like the view of hell, the trinity and the Torah and Revelation. I still hold a great admiration for Jesus though (and my view on him is quite, well, unorthodox ).

I'm a Christian Wiccan so I'm not sure were to cast my vote. I know the Church don't accept my views.

I'd say you are still a Christian. Whether or not the church accepts your method of worship the fundamentals for Christianity are still there. Don't worry, us full fledged Pagans still accept you too.

I was originally a Christian, and at one time was a Deacon and Youth Director at a Southern Baptist church.

I was raised agnostic. I have undergone a large amount of spiritual searching throughout the recent part of my (short) life. During that time I spent about a year as a christian (of the baptist variety). I decided to question the faith I had at that time about God. Not necessarily the objective existence, but also what God actually meant to my current belief system. As a result of this, I found myself wandering, very much alone, down a path I had no knowledge of, although I knew it was much better for me than christianity. This led me to convert away from christianity when I managed to take my head out of... well... you get the idea.

I'm happy to say that now I am very open minded to all religious concepts. And i'd like to make the point that 'open-minded' and 'blind' are not the same. I will happily entertain even the most unorthodox ideas, but getting me to believe them are somewhat of a different challenge

I was originally an agnostic, but thought whatever I had to loose by becoming religious. Christianity interested me, and Protestantism was particularly suited to me. So I became a protestant.
