Yes, I am only 16 and am still at school, and no I have not experienced the world, but even I - a typically naive teenager - can realise the absurdities created within the religious minds of those around us. That's how easy it is to open your eyes and realise how much of an unreliable source religion is in comparison to scientific evidence for example. You don't have to think like Darwin, Hawking or Dawkins. You could be the next Jim or Bob and still be able to realise this. Unless you're the pope.Welcome Cath.
What I like is people who don't try to force their opinions onto others. You may think you're right, but someone else might think differently. We need to let them have the freedom to think that.
Now I would never call your beliefs absurd, but I would question your knowledge. 99% of non Christians have skewed ideas of what they think Christianity is. It's a target of hate, and deserved most of the time: but not for what the faith is about, but for what people have done supposedly in it's name.
