Have you ever converted to a different religion?

[Ideal08]

I have VERY few friends who have ever converted from one religion to another. I am wondering what your thought process was and was it hard. How long did it take for you to really change? How did your family take the change? What brought about the change?

I will let you know now, if you post something to the effect of "I would never change my religion," I will delete your post. This thread is specifically for people who have converted or are thinking about converting to another religion. I normally don't post such controversial subjects, but I am now. Just so you know, if this thread is hijacked, I will delete your post.
