I have always been Christian, but I've switched Denominations a few times. As a child I went to a Methodist church with my grandparents. Then, I moved across the country before I was a teenager. I switched to Southern Babtist at that point soley because all of my closest friends went to the same church together. In college I was agnostic. Then as an adult I became a Christian again but realized I didn't believe in choosing one Denomination anymore. Denomination always seemed so divisive and I didn't like that. I always found it odd that different branches of Christianity seemed to compete with each other on who was right or wrong. Catholics vs. Methodists. Methodists vs Pentecostols and so on. Since Jesus walked the Earth and gave his messages, the birth of Christianity, his messages have changed drastically over time. Some preachers pick and choose what they teach of his message and even the sections of the Bible that they teach. Sometimes the preachers will even throw their own opinions into their teachings. We've ended up with hundreds of Denominations and millions of preachers with different teachings. It's all about what preacher is the best and the churches competing with each other on who is right and who is wrong instead of joining together to become one body of Christ which is what Jesus initially wanted us to be. In the new Testament it actually talks about this very thing happening and how we should not be so divisive with beliefs. Nobody is any more important or valid than the other. With all of this being said I am Non-Denominational Christian now. I go to church once in a while but I take what each preacher teaches with a grain of salt. The Bible is ultimately what I go by because it's the original source and is most trustworthy.

I am only so-called a Muslim and live like an atheist. I would like to convert to Christianity, but Christianity seems absurd to me. It seems absurd to me that God would impregnate a woman and that a virgin woman would give birth to a child. I am also a virgin, so why can't I give birth to a child?

Nah, my parents weren't religious at all. I was never in a church or synagogue for any reason other than weddings and funerals. We celebrated Christmas and Easter but it was a purely social thing, nothing religious.

So, I grew up experiencing religion as an outsider looking in. By the time I was 13 I had already decided it was all bullshit. And I've never found anything that changed my mind. On the contrary, I've only become more convinced that religion is the refuge of weak, stupid, people who live in fear of everything they don't understand.

I was what I called "nominally Christian ". Never really any strong feelings about it, just going along to get along. At about 11-12 I became aware that the whole Christian rap was nonsense and I declared myself an atheist. In my early 30s, I encountered Wicca. Now do I actually believe in any kind of deity? Depends on the day, usually not. What i do believe is that Wicca's moral code, aligns with mine. I also find Christian proselytizing very annoying and sometimes downright evil.

OI was a Muslim before and now I am a Muslim because I do what Prophet Muhammad does, everything he does is very useful, so I will stay in my religion.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

The last people in my family that were expressly religious were from five generations ago. So for the four generations after that it has always only been a „Judeo-Christian heritage“.

I changed from Katholic to protestant, cause the Katholic priest in my particular village was an asshole. But later i ditched that entire delusion club alltogether. So i'm an ignostic atheist now.
