Me too.
When I first discovered metaphysical teachings such as reincarnation, I tried for about 10 years to reconcile them with the Bible. I sought out teachings (such as Cayce, Steiner, Heline, etc.) that bridged the gap between Christianity and 'New Age.' This was a stepping stone for me at the time.
What made me finally drop the Bible was actually reading it. I found the 'god' of the old testament reprehensible. On my own, I began to see it for what it really was: negatively influenced. But I didn't understand how that could be, at the time, so I felt confused and just a teeny bit scared, for what I was pondering was quite sacrilegious!
By the time I discovered the Law of One, I was already in the process of letting go of Christianity, but now I had something that made sense. I resonated so deeply with the Law of One, that it was easy to let the old stuff go.
I still didn't do it instantly, but the process accelerated over the next few years. Old, obsolete programming just sort of fell by the wayside. I saw no point in hanging on to religious dogma.
I have mixed feelings about my religious experiences. I am grateful for some good elements, but overall it was far more negative than positive, for me.
