My conversion was a slow process, thinking about what acceptance of Jesus' death and resurrection means over the course of years. The closer I looked at it, the less it made sense. Especially when I found out some things about the time the bible was written. It all started falling into place that this was as much a set of mythologies as any pantheon of gods I've heard about. After my conversion, I felt sort of disappointed that my family hadn't figured out what I figured out. My grandmother had kind of an excuse, since she had to worry about the KKK burning a cross in her yard. My sister and brother in law don't really have an excuse.
It's just one of those things I dropped, like other childish things. Except I'm surrounded by people who believe Jesus is the one true living god, and some people are literally crazy about it. FSTDT can be a scary place.
