Why i choose science reason and atheism over religion

RE: Why i choose science reason and atheism over religion
For me, it's more that I was never exposed to any of this stuff during my formative years. I was encouraged to read from a very early age (my parents taught me to read - and spell, sorry - way before I started school) and I digested masses of information voraciously; one might even say rapaciously. That plus my father encouraging my interest in the night sky meant that I saw the Universe and never the heavens. By the time I read up on how the bible was put together (hint: it wasn't dictated by any god) plus the political rise of religion during tha Dark Age and backed into the forum world via da Vinci (long story), the immunisation was long complete.

Put another way:

I was never taken in by the con trick back when I was alive. I'll be buggered sideways with a rusty chainsaw before I fall for it now.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
