What made you give up on Jesus?

[Bard A Madsen]

To all the Christian members of the forum,

What was it that made you decide Christianity just wasn't worth it? What "proved" to you that God isn't real? I am still a Christian, just sort of a "Doubting Thomas" at times.

Thanks (The Sun Symbol) !

Some say your not sincere...   Personally I had trouble from the very get go, but played along and kinda believed then after tons of industrial and alternative rock and an agnostic friend I placed my minds-eye in God's shoes out in space and within an hour of thinking I was convinced it couldn't possibly be true.  The multiple gods and how people indoctrinated in other parts of the world believe what others around them believe reinforced it.  The main thing was that there are so many that they can't all be true and not one can be true either.  Then I started reading about catastrophism and the scientist mentioned that myth and religion probably had the per-historical essence of the cosmic encounter.  At first I was very reluctant to delve into such a research project because mythology had been studied for millennia and to my knowledge never gained a clear insight to all the stories.  Well, I read and read and read and all of a sudden I could SEE through what it was all saying because around the world the stories all tell the same story !  The story goes that the Sun was taken away for a long period of time and that it came back and everyone jumped for joy basically.  This is the very very ancient story of the solar resurrection.   The oldest story known to Man is the Cuneiform Text about Tiamat the Dragon who disrupts the orderly way of the World the Sun coming up and down and greenery/life and the Deep darkness wins for awhile, but the Sun eventually overcomes and spring time is resurrected !  Thus the fertile bunnies and eggs and the solar myth of Jesus.  Like St, George and the Dragon.  Like the shining Knight and the Dragon who saves the Maiden or the Sun, Darkness, and renewed Mother Nature.  I looked the World over and found that almost all of mankind's ancient stories confirm it.  Not only once, but four times and this is where one hears of four ages of Man, the four horsemen, ect.  That is why I came to this forum, to show everyone that it is more than just disbelief not to believe, but that all those beliefs are distorted stories of something that really happened and will happen again as professed. Yet, everyone bickers back and forth of who is right about their interpretation and no one seems to know what it is really all about, it is so simple, we get hit once in awhile by something from space (not an entity punishing us for sins) and it drastically changes the climate and kills many and we pray to the unknown to please stop punishing us and questioning ourselves for our wrong doing that is deserving of such damnation.  Even when one listens to the most prestigious atheist in the World they don't know this, it is time to wake up from our Comet-ose !
