Ok. Well how about this. I was never very happy when I lost belief in god. It was just an inescapable conclusion. If I had a choice back when it first happened, I probably would have decided to keep believing.
I never "chose" to stop believing.
This is a great way of explaining things. I don't know if I've ever heard/read it before, articulated like this, but yes. It wasn't like I declared one day...''I'm done following Christianity. I don't feel called to believe in a god...etc...''
The path just sort of came before me, and I followed where it lead. Sort of like the yellow brick road from the Wizard of Oz, except it wasn't as fun. lol
Sometimes, people think this is a choice, or an easy decision, but for me, it was a painful journey ...abandoning my faith. But, it was the right one.
Thanks for posting that Rahul, I definitely identify with that!
