If you were ever a theist...

Thanks for sharing

The bible is surely the book that produces the most atheists!

I think Christianity thrives because people don't, on the whole, read through the whole bible. Or even all the gospels. I agree with you, the image people normally paint of Jesus is way off and requires serious cherry picking, or just believing what someone tells you.

I think it thrives because of indoctrination. To have left it...and to have returned to it a few years later...tells me that I view it differently now. It's my own faith.
