When I was little, I grew up with my mother telling my god existed. I was so sure it was true. But then one day my brother opened my eyes. I feel like such a complete idiot for believing in a magic man in the skies with magical powers.

No, I have always believed there is a God.

Yes, I went from a believer, to agnostic, to atheist, to agnostic-atheist, and back to agnostic again.

Phew...

I went from militant Christian, to atheist, to militant atheist.

Lol when I was little.

i never disputed the existence of other deities despite believing in the Christian God. maybe they were all references to the same God, who knows.

I grew up a believer.

Between my adolescence and my mid-20s, I went through serious periods of questioning, not necessarily changing my mind repeatedly, but not really knowing my beliefs for a little while. Now, I believe in something spiritually greater, but I'm uncertain what form that takes and confident that no religion has it right.

When I was a kid, I believed in God. As much as a kid can believe in God, seeing as I didn't really have any understanding of the concept of God. It was more like my mom had me pray every night and I thought I was talking to someone. That was the extent of my understanding of who God was.

Once I hit 12 or 13, I started having doubts. I drifted more and more towards agnosticism and now I consider myself an agnostic atheist.

I suppose I could change my mind, but I would really surprise myself on that one.

I can remember having only one spiritual experience during my teen years when I was decidedly an atheist, but that was about it. Afterwards I dismissed it as a neurological experience, which it probably was.

i was christian for 14 or 15 years.
then i decided to be atheist and that lasted for 2 or 3 years.
now i just believe in god.

'I can remember having only one spiritual experience during my teen years when I was decidedly an atheist, but that was about it.'

what did that involve?

nah, i've always just thought it was awesome stories as far back as i can remember

I went to a Christian primary school, but I don't remember ever actually believing any of it.

I used to believe in God when I was younger. Right now I kind of just don't believe in anything.

I've never believed in one.

Yes!
I went from agnostic to spiritual...

At one point you just get inunadated with spiritual experiences you can't help but know there is a God, no matter what!

But, knowing there is a higher power doesn't mean one must subscribe to any religion whatsoever. There are many routes to Rome.

Lynn is the next prophet?

Awww.. you don't know what you're talking about?

Sort of.


I wasn't raised religious, but around ten, I decided I wanted to believe in god. Never sure if I ever actually managed it, but soon after I started high school I gave up on it for good.

I went from agnostic to atheist to strong atheist.

That enough of a "conversion"?

I've never believed in a god.

Not really. I shifted from atheist to agnostic a couple times, but it's been atheist by most people's definition the whole time.

Well, I've never met a prophet, but the only people I've heard of who get hit by clear, definitive deistic experiences regularly are crazy people and prophets.

Hmm, ask those church congregations?
