Yikes. There is quite a pattern developing in the religious right, in the US at least. We are turning back the clock folks.

I was raised an atheist and didn't find Christ until adulthood. So I am quite familiar with dismissing Christianity and any other religion for a variety of reasons.

Incidentally, I was also nihilistic and depressed for all those years, but I can only identify that in retrospect, because at the time, living in secular culture, the nihilism and depression just seemed like the normal way of being for people.

I'm a Christian because I know without a doubt in my heart that Christ is real, and He really is the way, the truth, and the life.
