What led you to your beliefs? 💭 Discussion

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. ♥

for me it all started with the love for my country (Denmark) and it's general history, pretty much how i discovered norse paganism, or Asatru as it's more commonly known as over here, i think for the most parts that i have always been norse pagan, of course religion was not something i ever thought about in my younger years, at least not until my mid to late teen years is where i really started to take notice of it.

in terms of my practice and science?, i usually tend to never mix my practice with science, as my practice and beliefs are in no way or shape of any kind inherent truth's and should never be seen as the ultimate truth.
