When I was born, up to the age of nine, I lived in a non-Christian family, but my parents were and still are great people and did a great job on raising me. My sister started going to my cousin's church (my cousins and aunt and uncle were strong Christians) and a little while later she introduced my parents and I to that church. Well my sister came to know the Lord, then my mom, and then me, and then my father.
When I was younger, I was afraid of my room when it came to bed-time. So when I was praying, I would not end the prayer, I would say "good-night" and I would feel that God was sitting near, protecting me. It gave me nice sleeps.
So I do believe in God, I've just lost my relationship with Him and at one point was going down a path that isn't so good.
Religion is, and always has been, a subject for me that I've gotten into a fair amount of fights, so I usually try to avoid speaking of it on forums and stuff. I totally respect other religions, it's just when people say rude things about mine [Christianity] that starts the fight. But everyone here respects everyone's religions, which is a nice change.
