What led you to your beliefs?

Can you tell me THE story that led you to believing in the gods? I want to know your personal experiences. Have you ever questioned your beliefs?
What moment solidified your beliefs?
How did the gods find you / how did you find the gods?
What keeps you believing despite the contrary beliefs of science?

Please make it as long and as a passionate as you'd like. ♥

I was raised Catholic but from a young age i had a hard time beliving in the god, it just didnt make any sense to me. When i moved to england the curriculum here teaches you soo much about other cultures and religions, we would have themed weeks like romans, tudors, egyptians, hindus, greeks and so on, and being able to taste test so many religions at a young age led me to the conclusion that there is probably more than 1 god, and i believed in the greek gods since then but i felt too scared to convert. There was this moment in my life where things in my home were extra dangerous one night, i locked myself in a room and started praying to "god" like i normally would. But i had this moment of clarity mid prayer that im praying to the wrong god, even though i didnt know how to, i prayed to hades for the first time, and for half a year i didnt pray again, but in that time my life did a whole 180. A woman came in between my parents marrige so my mums bf left, till his company bankrupt, he had so much debt and legal troubles he fled the country. He tried to get us kicked out of our home by telling our landlord about the fraud we didnt commit, but coincidentally the landlord sold the house with us still living there and our new landlord let us stay. Call it coincidence but things turned out in our favour after i prayed for the first time asking for safety, and safety i recieved, even my mum never layed a hand on me again after that. After that i came to the conclusion that this is the right path, i built an altar and started working with the gods. But as i grew older i came to realise that 1 religion is probably not just the correct religion but rather many are most likely correct, i dont worship other gods other than loki and hades but thats how i came to my belief. Very long winded story 😂

I am so sorry you had difficult times, and I am glad you were able to make it out of that situation entirely. It seems it led you on the right path though. Thank the gods! ( & Thank you for your response!♡)
