Telimaktar

I was curious as to why you have/had decided to give up Christianity? And if you had the opposite experience feel free to let us hear that as well.

If there is a thread like this already then I apologise.

So let me start with myself.

I was a Christian since birth and while my parents later fell away I still kept at it. My faith was quite strong.

Then 2 years ago I met a group of people from a different culture and religion and they were the some of the most amazing I have ever met. We became friends. Now one day it struck me (after having had a few discussions regarding religion) that if myself or someone else was unable to convert them, then according to the bible they will be destroyed.

That was a view I absolutely could not live with. Till today I refuse to believe that God would be so petty. Just because you were raised by parents who follow a certain faith ( whose parents also followed it and so forth) you deserve death.

If I had been born into a Muslin family I would also believe what they believe without a doubt.
So here I am, two years later searching for the truth.

What is your story?
