Note: why i didn't say religious, anyone is capable of religious infact you are religious, because your belief is that God doesnt exist.
My question:
May you please tell me what had happened to make you denounce Christianity exactly
[please don't say life or 'facts'] -
I never really was Christian. My reasoning was I never connected. God didn't help me feel better and I never had that connection many Christians talk about.
-
I started getting physically sick in church and feeling fine when I got home. Mind you, my house was directly across the street.
-
There was never reason to believe.
If anything, there was more reason for me to burn down the church rather than be a Christian. From experience, everything associated with Christianity became crap. -
I never felt connected, really.
Plus, Bob's threads. -
I was never really a Christian, but as a kid you're told there's a God, so I believed that for a bit. I would basically just say I got to a certain level of intelligence (probably in 7th grade) that made me question the traditional concept of God. When you get to an age that you can begin to think rationally and you don't have an organized religion to feed you answers, I think it is natural that you start to question God's existence. For awhile it truly was that I didn't think Christianity was correct when it came to God, or any other religion for that matter had human qualities. I was a pantheist more than anything until 12th grade, where my rational thought developed again and I realized the world was just to random for there to be any kind of spirit.

James, his threads and all, they made me realize how there was no true proof.

Calling Atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color. Lack of, does not equal associated with.
I spent years in a Private Christian school. And even back then, I could never understand all of it. I fully believed in God though. And I was determined that I would be so faithful that I would learn as much about him as possible. As i did this, god started to make less and less since. I started searching other religions and I found out how diverse the worlds faith is. And then I started to find flaws in all of them. Science and logic are the only things that do not claim to be supreme. Wanting to better ourselves; wanting to learn the answer instead of sitting blind. That is what Atheism offered me that no "god" could. -
Alright
-
It seemed like another of those stories like greek and eygptian "gods".
-
I didn't stop believing in a god, but the idea of Christianity or organized religion in general started to suck.

I was a Christain from when I was 5 till 12. When I was 5, my mom remarried and my stepdad came. He used to beat me real bad for any small mistake I made. He used to hit me with belts or sticks, once when he was drunk he hit me with a glass on my head, I had to go to hospital.
Anyway, I used to pray everyday, every freaking day, I even went to church everyday, I didn't pray for a new father, all I prayed for was that he would treat me like he treats my step brother (his real son). All I prayed was that he would treat me the same way I saw other dads treat their sons.
But it never happened. For 7 years, I kept praying in the hopes of a "God" who would help a helpless child. But it never came. Infact, it seemed like the more I prayed, the worse it got.
So I gradually stopped praying. I started to fight fire with fire instead of waiting for a mystical being who claims he loves everyone to help me out.
In the end when I was 13, a year after I left Christianity, I stood up to him and he stopped beating me up. He treats me equally now.
So I realized that I didn't need God, if he even exists. Even if he exists, for what I have been through (and I was only 5, I didn't know anything or couldn't do anything at that time) if he had mercy, he could have seen how much I was suffering, and for nothing too.
So yeah, thats my life's story which noone but whoever reads this knows. Thats why I am no more Christain, and even if 2012 is true or your God is real, I will NEVER be a Christian ever again...
The End -
I wsa never a Christian, nor was I ever raised to be one. I just never showed an interest in religion until I was around 13 when I decided to become a Theistic Satanist, but I soon went away from that. Then I started learning about the history of Christianity, and what I learned disgusted me. I learned that Christianity is truly evil. At the time I decided to become a Satanist I did have a general dislike for Christianity, but I was just a stupid kid back then. I didn't really have a good reason for hating it, but now I definitly do. I believe that this middle eastern plague needs to be eradicated from this world. Oh and I'm not religious at since I don't practice any religion. That's the definition of Religious if you didn't know. But I don't like to be referred as an Atheist, simply because most Atheists tend to be total douche bags

Thanks Hiks.

I used to believe in God, though I never labeled myself a Christain. I used to talk with him all the time, until I began to realize, I didn't REALLY think I was talking to someone. I felt iplike I was talking to the air. Then, at my new school, Christianity was shoved down my throat to the point where I wanted itching to do with it. The more I learn about, the less appealing it becomes.
