Why I'm Still a Christian

[Esquilax]

During their lifetimes, most christians go through the process of sanctification, during which they grow in their faith and service. I started out being raised as a catholic and have gone through numerous transformations since then. These transformations are natural to a christian's growth and have brought me closer to Christ, rather than drawing me away.

Yeah, and plenty of those people ended that process of sanctification as atheists. It's a well traveled road, taken by a number of the more prominent atheists out there; Matt Dillahunty being the prime example that springs to my mind, as he was studying to become a minister before that same study led him eventually to hosting an atheist TV show.

My point is that you seem to be doing the intellectual honesty thing now, and that's great, but a part of that is not locking off any possibilities based on what your beliefs are now. Always be prepared for new evidence to overturn everything you hold dear.
