So when I was younger I had some pretty interesting ideas, and I wasn't planning on sharing them cause they're a bit nutty, but what the hell.
I didn't even intend to question religion when I was young, like not in the sense here where it's like I had an opinion on the subject, or wanted to disprove arguments.
However, I don't know where I got these views. Essentially around maybe 4-8 years old[hard be specific] I would often feel that Religion was bullshit, I mean I was forced to go to sunday school[It's not like I opposed going], I lived and grew up christian, never met anyone who wasn't religious.
However for some reason I just had a distrust for anything people told me. Not only did I believe religion was false, but I somehow in the back of my mind thought that all the adults were conspiring to get me to believe this. Furthermore, I always for the longest time, not that I shaped my life around it, but for the longest time imagined that when I died I would wake up only to discover that I was an Alien from another planet dreaming the entire time. I don't know if this conflicted, but as well I thought that every single person was a figment of my imagination and would only life their life and do things when I was going to witness, and that if I wasn't aware of what someone was doing they weren't actually doing anything or even a real person. I didn't live my life around that, but it was kind of one of those things like "Yeah that could be true".
Anyways, have any of you had any similar experiences?

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
