i might answer you with my view of things.
So how did I loose Christianity? The answer is not necessarily logical.... but here goes:

[*]God = the father, the son and the holy ghost...trinity. The holy ghost I could not get my mind around. It could be some thing that is in us all?
|
the bible explains that the holy ghost is the third person of god. God starts to live in all those people, that accept jesus christ as their personal lord and saviour. so he does not live in all people, but in all who have believe in jesus christ.

[*]Jesus I thought was an excellent role model, but I could not accept the details of the miracles as real. The conclusion I came to was, that although Jesus may have taught with parables, his important truth (story) was itself a parable.
|
jesus makes miracles even today. god is the same in the past, today, and in all eternity.
here a link to people, that had experiences with god:

[*]Although I love my father I could not see any godlike father wishing to be worshipped. If this does not sound like worship, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment", what does?
|
there are differend kind of love. Gods love is agape. A love, that does not ask anything back. it has as well to do with will. many think it has only to do with feeling. when you obey god, you show that you love him. as jesus said. who loves me, obeys, and does what i asked to do. simply in believe in the gospel, you obey god. this is the beginning, and it pleases God.

[*]Then if religious a god were a popularity contest then it certainly should not be Christian. This made me ask, if god exists, then which religion would he belong to? At this point it made no sense that god would favour any. So why follow a relegion? So became a tepid deist.
|
religion meens : humans try to find god, and invent many different ways, they think, will bring them closer to god. but we, christians , got the revelation of the word of god. it was not invented by man, but god revealed himself to us. a big difference.

[*] I also questioned where my wish to be Christian came from; simply put, it was essentially from the society and company I was in. Spending time with areligious people helped me overcome these Christian societal pressures.
|
i didnt face social pressures . actually, i did face big oposition from my family, when i became evangelical christian.

[*]Over the years studying science and testing hypotheses, looking for proof in the secular world, I tested these methods, at least in my mind, on the world of the spiritual. The conclusion I came to was I could see no evidence that god exists (at least none that worked for me). If god did exist I would not necessarily recognize the evidence. God could be knocking at my door now I could never know.... but I think it's kids trick or treating. |
all created is a strong evidence that god exists. pasteur said : from nothing, nothing derives. life comes only from life. from dead materia, a living organism can never appear. then , think abouth consciousness. where does it come from ? can it derive from dead materia ?
think about the atoms. materia is almost empty, only a powerful force holds a atom togetgher. where does this force come from ?
