Re: Why Did You Turn To Religion? - April 22nd 2009, 10:20 PM

My 'religion' seems weird to most people, but it makes perfect sense to me. I believe in the three Holy Books, the Torah, the Bible and the Koran. While some find these three religions contradicting and adverse, I can say that this religion has given me inner peace. I started to turn religious when I was about sixteen years old; before that, I've been brought up as an atheist. I still believe in science and history by the way ; I don't find this incompatible with religion either. Why did I turn to religion? Because although I didn't intend to believe in God, someday I asked myself: "Isn't it important to at least THINK about the reasons why there may be a God?" Then I sat on my bed and started to pray; I asked God ("if You exist") to show me signs. The funny thing is, I did not want to turn religious at all, I was fine with the way I was. But I still received the signs and some day, I couldn't pretend any longer that there was no God.

My friends are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and atheistic, by the way =)
