For many people, faith feels like something unshakable—a part of who they’ve been since childhood. But sometimes life presents moments that challenge those beliefs—moments so powerful they make us stop, reflect, and even take a completely different spiritual path.I’d love to hear your stories: ✨ What was the turning point that made you question the religion you grew up with? ✨ Did it come from a personal experience, a conversation, or something you read or witnessed? ✨ And how did it ultimately shape the faith (or worldview) you hold today?Please share your journey—I believe it could inspire and resonate with many people who are (or have been) in a similar place.

When I came to the realization that the whole of montheism is a completely human 'theological' construct. And theology only exists because nothing has been revealed. All is a theological counterfeit. Probably humanities greatest own goal!
When this woman (think Tammy Fae Bakker) with over bleached and teased blonde hair, fake tan, so much makeup approached me and got really close to me. I had been taking sharpies and colouring little pieces of hair around the front of my face. It washed out pretty fast and more importantly my ultra conservative mother didn't care. I should also mention I was a vegetarian then and a good athlete in great shape.
Anyway, lady basically does judgmental look from head to toe. Then toe to head and says, "That's such a shame. God wants you to treat your body like a temple".
That was it for me.
Raised Catholic, attended Catholic school through 5th grade. The last time I attended Mass other than a wedding or funeral, was 1977. During the sermon, the monsignor admonished the flock. Paraphrasing "S*x is not for pleasure or fun. It's only pleasurable so you'll want to do it to make kids." So that and the whole fictional BS fairytales. And the absolute hate Christians seem to have for anything not of their religion. Not very Christlike are they?
