I was raised Baptist Christian. I attended both Catholic and Christian schools as well so I've always been very familiar with Christianity. My father always expressed his views, which are Pagan, and it swayed me to differ from tradition. I "lost" faith at a very young age (due to a broken home) and looked to exploration of other religions. After a bit of reading and research I discovered Buddhism and it's been perfectly right for me. I've found that Christians are very pushy and not level headed in the least bit. I've seen extremes from Christianity, Atheism, and Paganism. I don't agree with the intolerance that religious folks usually have, but I've always been open to hear about why they believe such things.
