Hello there,
Well, allow me to present myself. For privacy reasons, and because forums, I chose the nickname Joyeuse, which is the name of Charlamagne's sword. Anyways, I'm from Texas and I was raised Roman Catholic but in my teens (I'm 21 now) I left the church and became an atheist (it took a long time, though). After a couple of years, I got interested in religion again, especially in Judaism. Though the idea of converting to Orthodox Judaism appeared in my mind from time to time, the reality is that I never considered the idea seriously. A couple of years ago, I gave Protestant Christianity (non-denom) a tried but I ended up more agnostic than before. In December I began to feel more close to God. Just a couple of week ago I decided to give another opportunity to Roman Catholicism, especially because of some videos I watched on the internet and some readings about the Early Church that truly convinced me about it.
I still feel weird about going back to Christianity because of how long I've been an atheist, but I feel more relaxed. I don't know if I'm doing this because recently I've been under so much pressure or because I genuinely got convinced.
I joined the group mainly to know more people and learn from them. May be some of you guys have experienced the same stuff that I did.
Anyways, thank you and I look forward to meet you all here!
