Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.

Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.

Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

Anyone here who became a Christian by choice rather than indoctrination during childhood?

I have only met one person in my life that converted to judism by choice. She studied Hebrew for it in university. Her boyfriend at the time was Jewish and an asshole. Saying he wouldn't date anyone without a master's degree. He dropped out, she dumped him, and continued her study. By then, she was in a way, accepted.

Then there are a few people turning to spirituality from both christian or atheist backgrounds. Seeking comfort.

Every other religious person I met became religious during childhood, simply because their family was. One guy even goes as far as having bible study group, but refuses to study other forms of christianity.
