what age did you stop beleaving in the religion you where raised with?
i was watching Bill Maher and he mentioned he stopped beleaving in the religion he was raised with at sixth grade, this struk me as thats when i stopped beleaving as well. so it got me thinking, could the age you stop beleaving be corilated with the age you start having rational discriminating thought?

I stopped believing around 10 or so, but my mother made me go until I was about 15, in part because I just didn't ever tell her until I was 15, and even when I told her I was atheist, she insisted I go lest I change my mind. This, however, cemented the fact that I can lie fairly well, given that I gave a speech professing my dedication to the Presbyterian Church, and despite the fact that I had laced it with some contempt and disdain for religion, the pastor like it so much he made me read it to the congregation, people cried, I laughed. I'm so going to metaphorical hell

I can pinpoint the exact moment I lost my religion. Our very own Scotticus hit me up with a fact: Life is a state of disequilibrium. Everything clicked and I lost my soul. Thanks, Dr. Scotty!

i was never raised with it, not babtized/confirmed..... but my parents claim we are lutheren for some reason.* I never really believed in religion, i knew it existed because friends of mine would go to church but i never really knew what church was or why they went.* When i was about 12 yrs old i was snowmobiling with some neighbors and they started making fun of me for not being babptized, calling me the devil and what not.* It really upset me to the point of balling in the bathroom at home. NOt because i was ashamed to be unreligious, but because i was different from everyone else.* Thats probably the only experiance i have had regarding god.* But im very thankful now for the way i was raised and wish everyone would respect everyone elses religious choices with a little more tolerance.

I have always been an atheist. I never believed any of the crap churches or crazy people told me. You can be jealous and try to deny that that's possible and include accusations of ego in the only applicable poll choice, but I still talk about how much I actively hated going to church as a kid. I remember having to bullshit my way through some Jesus talk in Sunday school, trying to pretend that I believed well enough so that none of the crazies would try to talk to me before the bell rang and I could go get a doughnut. And on the days no one brought any doughnuts I was a pissed little kid. I very much remember cringing at all the stupid babble about what Jesus did for them and meant to them, and having to force the word Jesus out of my mouth with some sort of serious tone fucking killed me.
Going to church was, as I felt at the time and still feel, the single worst and most dreaded experience in my childhood. It was even grating when I did YMCA shit and they'd mention God. I hated that crap. The only thing that has changed with age is my respect for and aggression against Christians. I find them decreasingly tolerable. |
