Something cause you to question that truth (please define). You found that truth to be false (we'll just all assume it was the defined belief previously defined). At no time did you perceive yourself crazy.
That about sum it up? Fill in the blanks and I'd get a much better picture.
@Shell- You don't ever need to apologize to me girl, just pokin' the holes where I see them. (All you perverts get your minds out of the gutter)
I was a Christian and it was no fight to maintain my belief and belief in God was so obvious to me. I thought more about it, read the bible more, and came to think that maybe God was imaginary so I rejected that belief. There is more to it, but I wouldn't want to bore you, or me by typing it out. I now find it impossible to believe in God. At all times I acted according to my beliefs which were artifacts of my epistemology and what I knew about the world. I feel I have sorted out my belief structure since I have been here on the forums, but can remember why I believed so strongly, so I don't rage at the "stupidity" theists. You see I was and still am intelligent and knew many who were like me. I am still friends with them.
The biggest contribution to my being an atheist was the reading of the bible from cover to cover.
