Typed that on my phone, so it was a little vague. I was raised in a "Christian" home, we never went to church, but we generally believed in God and the Bible. 4 years ago was when I dedicated my live fully to the practice of Christianity. It's really tough, having lived and breathed church/Christian life for 4 years, and then suddenly making a choice within a week of reading Hitchens' and Dawkins' books, to not believe in that anymore. I guess you could call me a "closet atheist". Not because I want to be, but because I'd lose my job and my community with my friends. I'm sure I'd keep a few, but most would ignore me, and the rest would try to "convert" me back. It's a scary thing to dump a set of friends, a job, and lifestyle to go find new ones. Especially right before you graduate college. And thank you for the welcomes!
