Yeah!!! I'm RARE.

Seriously, Niamh you are correct.

I was not raised as a Christian (my immigrant mother was Buddhist) and I never thought about any type of religion at all whilst growing up, but then in my 20's I started to search (for want of a better word) philosophies and numerous Religions and even mysticism and the paranormal, and it was as a result of this that I 'discovered' Christ and the more that I researched, the further convinced I became that Christianity was for me.

I do not try to impose my personal beliefs on to anyone else - not even my children - but I do vigorously defend my faith when I have come under attack or jeering for it (which has happened).

Each to their own, I say.
