Welcome!
Post #1It seems to me, that new members rarely post a introduction thread anymore. As such I am making this thread as a way that new members can say hi, and get to know a couple of people on the forums.

Welcome!
If you don't mind me asking, what led you away from atheism? What religion do you now follow?

As far as testimonies go, mine is a bit boring. One day, during the summer of 2002, I became obsessed with a curiosity for God - which was very strange for me, to say the least. I just couldn't shake it. That began my "journey" as they call it. I'm now a Christian.

What type of Christianity? Are you Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox? Would you consider yourself a Biblical literalist, or are you more theologically liberal?

I go to a Free Evangelical church right now, but if they were to stray, then I'd leave. I'm not a fan of "brand names", so I simply identify as Christian. I'm a YEC, so I do take Genesis literally, but I know an allegory when I see one too.

Interesting! I'm curious, what, exactly, led you to become a YEC? Was it the evidence, or was it simply for theological reasons?
I went to an Evangelical Free church for a while before I left Christianity.
