As I said, for me it was rather a boost to become an atheist. The line of reasoning was, they're contradicting themselves. Either that god of theirs is a total monster or he's not as the describe him at all. You can't have benevolent and at the same time threatening to punish your loved ones for your transgressions.

That's why I started to question everything they said.
