Jeffrey, I actually started out the opposite of you. I was conservative the last time it was cool to be conservative, think William Buckley. Sounded right to me at the time but I knew there was a problem. I didn't feel right about many of the issues even tho they "sounded" right at the time. I was also a Christian and was a believer as long as I can remember. Pretty mainstream kind of a Christian back then too. I also felt some things didn't seem right what I was taught at Church. I began being honest to myself and realized I'm really not so conservative after all and I really started to evolve as soon as I freed myself from the chains of contemporary Christianity. I'm still very much a believer of God, consider myself Christian but do not conform to any man made creeds or doctrines. That point was a major break away for me as I also realized it was the main factor of tying me to conservative ideas.
These days I consider myself a Liberal but certainly not your typical liberal. I can resonate well with some Libertarian thoughts, and do not always agree with every thing the Democratic Party does or says. But for the most part feel more comfortable and at home on the left.
Looking forward to debating you tho we may actually agree on more then we disagree on.
