Five years ago I had never once believed in God, not even as a child. I was a content atheist and thought it was simply obvious that God did not exist. I thought that religion and reason were incompatible, and eventually became vocally anti-Christian. Imagine my surprise to find myself today, just a few years later, a convert to Christianity who loves her faith (my husband and I both entered the Catholic Church in 2007). This is the chronicle of my journey.
Discussions to watch
There are some great exchanges of ideas going on in the comments to the past three posts: on how God revealed himself to humans (and whether or not that makes sense); on a variety of questions of belief vs. atheism (don't miss Mike J's question -- I think he's come to the right place); and on big families and happiness.
Have I ever mentioned how thrilled I am with the commentors on this site? You are all fantastic. Thank you.

I have been very impressed with the comments and the advice that you get here. Especially from SteveG. Kuddos to you all.
Martin.
Thanks for your kind words. :-D
Jen, did you ever hear the "goose story" with regards to the incarnation?
I discovered it last year, and it's one of my favorites.
When I heard it, it was about ducks.
Tony, that is such a simple but powerful analogy. I am printing that out for my 7th grade CCD class tomorrow! Thanks!
