What made you give up on Jesus?

[Nay_Sayer]

One thing that made me question the whole religion thing is that when I was growing up my older brother sassed off to my parents, told them God was stupid, and was pretty into "New-agey" stuff like buddhism and fantasy novels.

My parents were convinced he had a "demon" in him, and thus locked him away in his room, and they prayed either in the room, or outisde it. He was grounded in every sense of the word.

My younger brother and I were forbidden to talk to him, and I was punished for doing so.

He eventually "repented" and convinced my parents of his renewal to Christianity. For some reason though, he never set foot in a church after he graduated from high school.

To this day I have my doubts if it was an actual demon which made him question the faith, and not just his own intellect doing what it does naturally.

Yep, still poeing.

Yet the bitter irony is his posts are barely iindistinguishable from yours.
