Why did I believe at one point in time?
Easy. I was emotionally vulnerable and scientifically ignorant. The Gospel message was such a powerful seductive message for me that I wasn't able to resist it at the time. Plus, the people who preached to me gave me a very good first (but deceptive) impression about themselves.
Why I stopped believing is mainly because I got tired of not actually sensing God anywhere no matter what I did or say, because of the realization that born again Christians aren't truly born again and that's it's just a superficial word they use to describe themselves, and because I actually started to read some science books for a change. I also became a stronger person during the course of my former faith, so ironically, I no longer felt the need for it.
