"I found God"

I can't understand when people say this. It is as though they honestly believe that it makes sense. I guess that it is shorter than saying something like, "I finally stopped being so self-involved that I decided to think about right and wrong" or "I really need or want something so it is a convenient time to choose to believe." I do believe that people can lose faith or that they chose to abandon their faith, but the fact is that they make that choice. God wasn't the one who was lost in the first place!
