There are events that happen through the course of our lives that change what we believe in or challenge those beliefs we hold dear. For instance, a friend of mine lost his wife to cancer about a year ago and stopped talking to myself as well as most of his other friends. He recently emerged telling me he lost belief in the doctors that treated his wife as well as the medical system as a whole.
I had a situation when I was younger. I was brought up in a Christian Methodist household since I can remember. When I was 14, my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. My brothers and sisters were too young to really remember, but I remember how he wasted away slowly. Hospice had him drugged up at the end and it was painful to see what he had become. I guess as of that point, I refused to believe in God because what God would allow someone as great as my grandfather to die a slow painful death from cancer. To this day, I still cannot bring myself to believe in God.
What events have transpired where you have had a change in your beliefs? What changed? How about an event that happened where your beliefs are shaken, but you stayed the course and nothing changed?
