Just wondering how many post-Christians there are in this group
Tried most denominations at one time or another, raised methodist, baptist father, Charismatic mother but consider myself ex-mormon.
I must be one. Raised Church of England, gave it up just before 14th birthday. My parents weren't happy about it, as they had made a promise to nothing when I got Christened.
We only eve went to church for weddings and funerals. God never answered my prayers for a better world free of war, hunger, disease and wot not.
Started have to doubts before I was ten.
I didn't grow up in a particularly religious family so I've been an agnostic or atheist most of my life.
But I did go through a religious phase when I when I was in 6th form. Other teenagers get into drink or drugs. I got into Christianity. It was a pretty crazy born-again church: house meetings, speaking in tongues. I remember getting really upset because I was convinced that the rest of my family were going to hell. Scary stuff.
I used confirmation for christianity as a test of god. He failed.
funny that, he always does, does he not, perhaps that's why old JC said Luke 4:12 “You shall not put the LORD your God to the test" (Code for, Dad's an unreliable old fart!)
@LenHazell53 Thanks. I knew that quote was somewhere.
