I started questioning if God was real (my mother was deeply Baptist and I went to a Christian school) when I was 11. Literally everyone said "you gotta just have faith, reject science" or some bs like that. My turning point was when we had a discussion I started in my 7th grade classes about if God was real with evidence, and my teacher flat out said "I don't know, I just believe." In my Junior High mind, I'm thinking "I'll find my own answers without a myth" and now I sit here in front of my computer with food on the table (no thanks to God) and a good life (again, no thanks to God). I pat myself on the back.
