I was a pretty strong Evangelical Christian at the time. I agreed with most of the things that my church preached, though I did have the gumption to differ with some things. For instance, my youth group leaders liked to preach that it was wrong to listen to any music that wasn't Christian music. However, I did take the Bible quite literally, and yes, I was a Creationist at the time (I don't like admitting that). I was one of those Creationists that believed that the Earth is thousands of years old rather than millions

Since then, I have been challenged to think about my beliefs, and have arrived at the position that I am hold today. I don't think that religion is necessarily bad. In fact, I still consider myself quite spiritual. And I still think that there may be a higher power out there somewhere. I just don't think that any higher power that exists would fret over people not doing the right rituals during their lives or not belonging to the correct religions.

Well, that's all I have to say right now.
Welcome, you are the first person I have met that has done what you have done. I am impressed, welcome to the forum.
