I am so interested in finding out how others felt drawn to faith-I am a fence-sitter at the moment, equally drawn to and repulsed by 'Religion'. I feel spiritual feelings, often give gratitude to 'something',have an interest in religious texts and believe there is an energy which goes on after we die, but cannot bring myself to become involved in organised religion. It is a simplistic thing, but the current happenings in Israel/Palestine sicken me to the core and I have all the usual questions of how supposedly religious, empathic, loving believers can carry out such atrocities. I was brought up in an atheist household and would love to hear from anyone who found themselves believing after such a childhood-was it a blinding flash, a gentle realisation or something else? Thank you so much if you have time/inclination to answer
