Guest SugarBlossom Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hello, I am a former Christian. I was Christian from ages 12- 35, and now am 38. I am still having a hard time adjusting to life as not a Christian. I have deeply appreciated the posts I have read from other members here. I have a belief in a God still but everyday seems to be a struggle. I miss the "idea" of church, but I could not go back. I don't believe that others are going to hell for not being a Christian, or people are going to heaven for being a Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is difficult to adjust to life without the ideas you believed in since childhood, but also totally, utterly worth it. The intellectual and philosophical fruits are delicious.

I don't believe that others are going to hell for not being a Christian, or people are going to heaven for being a Christian. I found going to the Unitarian church was helpful. They don't require belief. And welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
