Converted Catholics........

[amasimp]

I converted from atheism 10 years ago. One of the hardest parts was dealing with my family, especially my father whom I idolized and adored.  He kind of took it as a denial of the values he tried to teach me, especially when I was discerning a vocation to religious life.  We've moved past that now.  

That said, I think my background makes it more of a challenge to stay Catholic.  There are many, many times where I feel like i don't believe in God.  For me, that is a more natural feeling that believing in something I cannot see or prove.
