Is it normal to suddenly gain christian beliefs?

73% Normal
10 Comments

First of all, mature comments only please don't slam any religions. Just because I'm not Christian doesn't mean I don't respect their beliefs.

Okay, so I was raised by Catholic parents, but my beliefs have always been agnostic. I've never really been attached to a particular religion.

Then a few months ago, I was asked to play piano for a choir at a Christian church. I agreed because I'm kind of in financial need and figured the money would be a nice little bonus every week. The people in the choir were really nice (all Christians obviously). I didn't want to feel like an outcast among them, so I would go along pretending like I've believed this stuff my whole life. But now, I think I'm actually starting to believe it. It's like, I'm starting to become used to the Christian beliefs now, but part of me still feels like it's something I've heard about in a story. Is it normal?

    I'm a Christian myself, and I've been a believer most of my life. I was raised going to church, and learning right and wrong from that.
    If you ask me, this belief is contagious. It truly can make you happy, and I encourage you to explore it further. I know Catholicism is a bit different from what I know, but what I always learned was that you can pray anytime, anywhere, directly to God.
    Try it sometime. I find it helps me get my worries off my mind.
    But to answer your question, yes it is normal. Lots of people question the existence of God. It's not all nonsense either.
    Remember this : believe what you believe. Don't change for anyone. If you start believing God is real, don't let anyone tear you down because of it. Stand strong.
    Take care.

    communal singing and music can be a very powerful and emotional thing. i'm not surprised you're beginning to become a christian because those songs can suck you in so bad. before you make up your mind, just think about it rationally and don't base the rest of your life on something that sprouted up just through raw emotion. feelings and inclinations can be extremely fleeting.... but hey, i'm an atheist, and if it makes you happy to become a christian then do so :)

    It's the social machine spreading beliefs. If you like the idea, go for it. It's your choice what you compose yourself of. The ones who truly believe in the religion do so because they felt something, something others can't understand because they didn't give the religion a chance within their minds.

    Im tech Catholic, but have never followed the religion. I havent been in a church since I made my confermation at 15, now 25. I went to a communion for my fiances cousin the other day & I admit, I felt myself getting a lil misty eyed at the ceremony & the I guess "togetherness" of the emotion/devote beliefs. I myself am Agnostic also...Im spiritual but I believe no one really knows until they get there. I do believe theres something else out there. A mixture of science & religion really. I think you just feel the emotion I did. The togetherness. Its ok to believe in whatever you want, even if its Catholic oriented but Agnostic views over all. Dont worry about it, many feel the same as you, confused.. & undecided as messed up as we may be told. Hope I helped.
