I'll let vicomete13 expalin my religion to ya.
I'm not interested in your religion. I am interested in your spiritual beliefs. One is an institution of man trying to please God, the other is what you believe. There is a difference.
You said you were (past tense) a Christian. I'm just curious how you believe that you were, and why you don't believe now. That, I think, is an interesting discussion.
However, if you don't want to discuss that, or wish that someone else discuss what you believe (I don't think that's possible, but whatever), I can drop it. It does seem strange to me,though, that given a golden opportunity to share your spiritual contentment that you have found, you instead decline. 8^(
If you change your mind,and respond with your beliefs, it may be awhile between postings. For me it is feast or famine. The last couple of days, it's been feast, but I don't know how long that will last.
Sincerely

I don't mind discussing it. I suppose in a nutshell I began reading about the early history of the Church. The anti-semitism in the New Testament began to bother me as well. The fact that there was this big bru haa 2-300 years later about whether Jesus was divine or not was bothersome. Finally, after witnessing discussions here on FR thinking "these are the people who claim their forefathers started the church"? That's all she wrote, I converted to Judaism. Lol.

Fair enough. Ask me as many questions as you would like.
