I was raised a Christian and was pretty content to believe that for much of my life. However, the past couple of years I feel I've drifted away from Christianity. To be honest, I never quite felt that spark that all my Christian friends seemed to feel, and this lead me to explore other faiths and ideas. I'm still exploring and growing, but I'm not really sure what I'd call myself. I still believe in God, no doubt. Nothing has ever shaken my belief that there is a God. I'm just not so sure anymore it's the Christian-Judeo God that I was brought up with.
The question of the thread was a really good one. I'd never really taken that into consideration before. To the poster who said that we will only forget the suffering, I'm not sure that's the correct context of that verse. I was always under the impression that that verse referred to God's "forgetting" of our sins post-repentance. I think it makes much more sense for us to completely be wiped clean of all memory. It almost seems like reincarnation, only without the cleansing cycles. Interesting stuff.
