It was a very gradual process that took years. I first went from religious to what I call "religious agnostic" - meaning I do believe in religion but not necessarily all the specific explanations given by the various christian sects and that I dont have all the answers and am still searching. Then went from "religious agnostic" to "non-religious agnostic" or "agnostic" or "spiritual" (Im not sure which, I asked about this on my introductory thread but didnt get an answer) meaning I do not believe in the explanations given by the christian or any other religion but do believe in an intelligent omnipresent creator and an afterlife as described by people who have had near death experiences. I believe Jesus existed but not sure of his origins and feel that his true message was intentionally distorted and subverted by religion. |
