Have you ever investigated your religion?

Yes. It is important to find out for yourself the truth. I prayed long and hard about what I had been taught from childhood. I studied the scriptures and prayed about them. Then answer I got was the most wonderful feeling that everything I read and was taught was true - I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is true.

Many many times.  It's the bane of my existance.  Some insist that I am still a christian.  I explain my views in detail but it must be very painful for them to listen (they're religious).  The one closest to me at this very moment is staring at me mutely.  I don't believe he understands a word I'm saying ;P .

I do consider myself eclectic. \n\nI will take the religion road for this one. I have been studying different religions for some time now. During this search I have formed my own opinions and beliefs. Where some religions do not interest me at all others, mostly earth based (Wicca, celtic, buddhism to name a few) do but none completely. I take what feels right to me.

I used to be an atheist. real hadcore stuff too, denying Jesus, questioning the existance of the supernatural, baspheming the holy spirit, thinking that all religions are man-made superstitions oft used for duping the weak minded. I would trust  "facts" and listen to "Reason". \n\nAnd then one day I felt something. a feeling inside my body that filled me with a pulsing force. A rythmic pounding form inside. tha-thump tha-thump tha-thump. Almost like there was a pump inside my chest that was somehow pushing the blood to all the furthest reaches of my extremities and back again. It was then that i knew that i was right, there is no god after all :)

I have had near-mystical experiences (in addition to intellectual reasons) that have contributed to my commitment to God (through what Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross).\n\nI have also had a hundred or more prayers answered by The Christian God (by his kindness and Grace).\n\nI used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. \n\nFor a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html\n\nThe near-mystical experiences are described at the link above (if you are interested).\n\nCordially,\nJohn

I changed my faith to Hinduism from what I was brought up with, after YEARS of studying all I could about various religions, the Bible, and other Scriptures, ancient and world history, archaeology, etc.  I also "studied" myself.  I prayed a lot and came to understood that Hinduism is the religion of my soul, the religion I was when I was a child, before I was told what to believe.

My rebellious story......I was Catholic for about 35 years and had trouble in believing that an all loving god would condemn people to hell for what he determined to be indiscretions.  \nShoot...I love to master bate, have pre marital sex with men and women and sometimes a freak fest or two with a couple of friends of mine.  So I guess I was going down to the fiery brimstone pit.\nThe clincher for me was that I was signing up my kids for another year of CCD classes and they told me I had to pay $150 for the classes (which is about double what it should be) because I didn't use the "envelope system" every week, even though I was a registered member of the church and would throw in $1 or two when I would have it.\nI took the CCD applications and ripped them up into tiny pieces and threw one right at the lady and the other one I threw up in the air so it landed in a million pieces all over the floor.\nI've been a practicing eclectic witch, but lately I've been leaning more towards Hinduism and spirituality with a little bit of quantum physics

If you did not, now you do. I will bet that you will get a lot of religious people asking for proof, well, if they can't prove these exists then they do not. (And no they can't prove it)

Christianity, Buddhism, Muslim, Jewish, Wicca, Paganism, Hinduism, Scientology, Mormonism, I continually study religion, it is one of my great passions. You can't have a good conversation on religion unless you know what the person you are talking to is talking about.
