Why do you actually believe in God?

[Chad32]

When I was a kid, I lived across the street from a church where my grandmother was a Sunday school teacher. I was very close to her, and she fed me all the nice Jesus stuff that kinder adults tell kids when they don't want to scare them with hellfire. There's a certain amount of trust that has to go on between a child, and an adult family member, and she took advantage of that. Back then I figured as old as she was, if it wasn't true, she would have figured it out by then.

I was raised in the church. Then I grew out of it. Not too hard when you grow up in a more liberal church, though. Nobody's gonna beat you to death, or kick you out of the house in my family.
