Well I think deep at heart I never truly believed. My dad estranged from his Catholic church at 14 (apparently they were REALLY crazy. Like they thought that rock music, Barbie dolls and The Simpsons were evil) and never took me or my sister to a church .One day I started watching videos on YouTube by TheThinkingAtheist (look him up if haven't watched any of his videos) and I watched all kinds of debates, and eventually I just kind of...stopped believing. And after I started calling my self an atheist at the rather young age of 11, my mom (who was an Anglican) followed in my footsteps. I remember when I was younger I used to believe in Heaven and I used to say grace at dinner and bedtime (Although after I became an atheist we stopped saying grace all together, we literally haven't done it since, I don't even remember how it goes :/)
So yeah thats it :3 (Wow theres a lot of stuff in brackets :S...oh wait)
Thank you for your reply, and you certainly are not alone in seeing something amiss with many church teachings.
When my best friend was attending college in NYC, I would play chess with an atheist and he pointed out to me how corrupt the clergy are.
I said should that surprise us since the clergy was corrupt in Jesus day?
Jesus pronounced many 'woes' against the false religious leaders in Matthew chapter 23.
He took me to see the Isaiah Wall across from the United Nations and wanted me to explain Isaiah's words inscribed there. [Isa 2v4]. Since I never heard them and had no clue as to meaning I decided to buy a Bible, and I bought a modern English reference Bible translation to read it for myself.
You have watched videos, but have you ever read the Bible for yourself?
Thanks again for your reply.
Try new and interesting words like...douchewaffle, monkeybutt, arsemunch, buttnugget and so on. Now shhhhh, I was never here. :nightcraw:
