Maybe it's because I grew up in a home where you were ridiculed for believing in God, who knows. Atheists are honest folks. And passionate. Outspoken. Up for debate, stalwart, unrelenting, stubborn. Full of fire. Demanding answers, raising questions. As an outsider to your non-believing kingdom, I just want to say, kudos. That's all.
Were you an atheist before you became a Christian? Was there any significant event or knowledge that you came by that made you change your beliefs? I'm asking these questions purely out of curiosity; I'm not trying to start a debate whether or not your reasons were good.
