Grew up in a moderately catholic home, had a strong sense of faith as a kid. Hormones took over as a teenager and resided to not knowing if God existed. Had a spiritual moment in my mid twenties (no, I won't go into online) became a pentecostal Christian. Put myself through the church wringer for a little over 10 years. Started deconstructing my faith and asking a lot of questions about what I believe and why a few years ago. I still have a strong faith in God but how I live that faith is very different to the last 15 years and is very different to what I consider "mainstream" Christianity. I'm so much happier not being in "church" and I feel free to accept myself and others more than I ever had. Still working on myself though. So yes, I still consider myself a Christian but had to spit out a lot of bullshit taught over the years.
