I was born into a Roman Catholic family, we attended church occasionally, and I even completed the class (Katykism?). My parents were never super into it like my Father's parents were, and once they divorced the attendance stopped. My friend's Mother was awful towards him about going to church. If he did not want to go, she would physically drag him out of the house, screaming as loud as she could at him to get in the car. That experience lead me away from any spiritual part of my life. I eventually took that out on God, becoming an atheist and denouncing the Lord wherever I went. In 2008, I moved to New York to live with a girl I met online and met just once in person. We had a kid in 2010, separated in 2011, and eventually divorced. 2012 was the worst year of my life, I was having a ridiculous amount of sexual encounters with women, I was all alone with my family and friends being in my home state and me being in NY. I got to the point that year where I was disgusted with myself. While I had friends cheering me for the amount of sex I was having, I felt awful, this was not the person I wanted to be. I truly feel this was God calling me back. In late 2012, I met a woman (who is now my Wife), and her family were consistent church attenders. I thought I'd give it a shot, mainly because I wanted the girl. I wanted to impress her, and mostly I just wanted to not be alone anymore. This ended up being a fantastic experience, and quickly realized that the experience I had with my friend's mother was NOT how all believers acted. I began to thoroughly enjoy going to church, singing the songs, and being with people I thought genuinely cared for me. I opened my heart to the Lord and accepted him back in on December 24th, 2012.
