Dang right, born an Atheist (and so were you ) but never developed a false belief system.

Yes. I became a Christian at a young age. The Truth has set me free!

That is a fairly bold statement. Is there any way, beyond faith alone, that you can prove your belief beyond a reasonable doubt?

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And yes, I feel I am what my religion is.

I am defined by my Spirituality but identity myself as being a Christian because it's compatible with my Spirituality.

For example, I like shrimp, however just raw shrimp alone is not going to satisfy me, I could still eat it however I prefer it to be cooked, seasoning added to it, etc. in order for me to really enjoy the taste of the shrimp.

That's how I feel about identifying with my Religion. My Religion does not define me however my Religion is needed in order for me to obtain the full effects of my Spirituality. Per my belief.

Yeah, I love shrimp and prawns too, but..............

Leviticus 11:10: But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is detestable to you.
