I'm a Christian, actually, still - well, I wasn't always. I'm a former atheist, and having now been on both sides, I can say I like this one a whole lot more. So, mine is more of a re-conversion story, in a sense, as a former Christian Scientist (blech) who became atheist and is now Christian. Go ahead, ask me questions and tell me about yourselves!
I always find these types of titles of threads over my 16 years of seeing them on a variety of social media, not just at this website, to be naive.
The only question that matters when discussing ANY and all religions is "Where is the evidence?". And the truth you don't want to face is you have as much for yours as any Muslim, Jew, Hindu or Buddhist.
I could care less if you say you were a former atheist. I was a former Christian.
I'd say someone unfortunately snowed you with some slick apology and you fell for it.
Our species was around long before any written religion.
Our planet is 4 billion years old.
Our universe is 13.8 billion years old, with an estimated 2 trillion galaxies in it, with 100s of billions of suns each.
NO, this was NOT put here for humans and in 5 billion years human invented fantasies will not be remembered after our planet dies and sun dies.
Religions are nothing more than human invented constructs reflecting the social norms and superstitions of those of the societies they live in.
I hope you didn't stupidly think you'd be able to walk in here like a used car salesman, smile and say, "Hey look, this rust bucke logic I slapped some new paint on, even though it has no engine." Because that is not what we do here.
