It never made a lick of sense to me. I've always had an analytical mind, I took in what the adults were telling me and discarded what I couldn't reconcile. No one could give me good answers to the questions I had. At best I was given vague non-answers or redirections to avoid answers.
My though process was always, if it is so obvious, so clear that a god exists and that the one that exists is the one described in the Bible, then why is it so hard to relay concisely or even answer the most basic questions.
When I was old enough to do my own research, I discovered the history of the Church and the history of Christianity, as well as the scientific principles that invalidate the creation story. I also discovered the terrible ideas about society and people, and I resolved that the whole of it is just one huge farce perpetuated by tradition.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
