Sorry, troll. Not buying it.
Hahaha I've not gotten this one yet, that genuinely made me laugh. For clarification sake, what part are you not buying? You not buying that I was an atheist? That I am a Christian? Do you think I'm trolling you?

Why did you become atheist?
Why did you go back to being Christian?
The churches that I'm most connected to (at home and near school) aren't really denominational, but they're basically somewhere in the Presbyterian-Mission denomination. I don't know nearly enough about denominations to give a strong answer as to where they fall under because some denominations cover a wide variety of churches, and I don't fully understand that because it's not a big priority in my mind.
I was having angst issues growing up and didn't understand a lot when it came to God, so when I asked my mom, she wasn't able to give me a satisfactory answer, and neither was anyone at the excuse for a church I went to. So I left, and it caused a big stir.
A few years went by, and I realized atheism didn't make sense to me - it didn't make sense that we came from nothing, or that the universe formed itself. There has to be a higher power involved in all this beauty, and as I started to seek God, I found the answers to the questions I had, just not in the church I had been in when I was younger.
Thank you for answering.
On the OP you said you used to be a Christian Scientist, and then you said "blech."
What is a Christian scientist and why is it blech?
You can't post links until you've been here for 30 days.
So your links got deleted. Can you tell me your YouTube name so I can look you up?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
