Heres my story:
My imminent family are born again Christians. They came from poor families that really tended to discourage the christian lifestyle. My family is filled with a bunch of alcoholics and abusers of substances and things. My parents didnt really come to know Christ until a few years into my birth. My dad was almost killed on a motorcycle and long story short, a string of occurrences and dreams led him to the Lord. So I was pretty much allowed to believe whatever I wished. I always grew up believing in God but not taking it seriously. It wasn't really until I was 14 that I actually started getting into the word and the things of God, fact checking and finding connections of God to man. It was at this point I had felt the touch of God through my prayers and research that I decided to get baptized and take the final step

At this point I knew basics, how one is to live ect but I have always wanted to know more and more about God so I made a commitment to constantly dig and research the things of scripture. It was around mid high school that I seriously began to doubt the traditional evolutionary beliefs and really came to the conclusion that the bible was telling the truth the whole time. A series of biology classes and human anatomy and comparative anatomy classes really broke the camels back. Life just seemed to complex, too real to be this simple story of strange ancestry.
A great book in particular darwins black box, was quite instrumental in my believing this way. Theres just too many problems with this "scientific" theory that its appalling its even taught at all.
When I finished high school I sought to well round myself in other religious studies. I have studied elements of hinduism, buddism, mormonism, islam, satanism (particularly Alister Crowleys views) and new wave spiritual stuff. I find it all extremely interesting and its the studies of these many religions that really has reinforced the fact there must be a God somewhere responsible for all this.
Lately I have found myself more and more interested by the alien phenomena and its connection with spirituality. The vast majority of my close friends are indeed agnostic and believe in aliens, our debates are amusing but it was really when one of them claimed my whole religion is based off aliens and watching that ancient aliens show (quite the interesting and provoking show) visiting earth that I started that research.
It was primarily the connection between crowley, lam, hubbard and some of the writings of Jacques Vallee that really shows me that todays alien phenomena is no different than the fake religions of old describing their "gods" in the sky performing great works to them.
All in all Iv always had the freedom some havent in deciding their own path, I have been fortunate to be surrounded with a collage of people of different belief systems and their eagerness to discuss things like religion. I have learned quite a bit about life from these people and have found if you just hear someone out there's always a interesting and meaningful testimony behind them
