Question

You belong to a church, yet the religious views under your username is listed as “Do not like religion.”  Uh huh.

In any event, I grew up in a mostly non-practicing Catholic household.  I never truly believed in any god, and I’m beyond thankful that I’ve only ever been in a church 10 or fewer times in my life.

Haha!  You caught that.  Yep, I do go to church.   "Religion" and "religious" people frustrate me.  I don't like legalism that falls into religion, nor do I like the religious people who put themselves above others because they have lots of head knowledge about a particular faith.  I am a follower of Jesus and believe in Him as my Lord and savior and try to follow His commands.  Not rules of man.  I am not out to force my faith onto anyone nor do I condemn anyone for what they believe.   I share my faith/beliefs when asked or am given the opportunity to do so.   I am on here to just figure out why people "walk away" from what I believe in.  And I find it very interested to see why people do not believe in God or any God. 
So,  have you ever really searched for truth?  Or have you just not thought about it and settled into something you find comfortable?  Has something happened that you are grateful for not being in church?  Maybe with "Christians"? 
Thanks.

Look at you not-so-subtly probing for a way to convert me.  "Have you ever really searched for the truth?"  LMAO.

I have searched for the truth.  Your god doesn't qualify, for a multitude of reasons, starting with there being no credible proof of its existence.  And, please, don't respond with bible verses.  The bible is the claim.

Regarding church, I find it dreadfully boring.  The psychological manipulation techniques are painfully obvious - the spectacle of authority, the innate peer pressure of performing the kneel/sit/stand/recite/communion/amen calisthenics, cramming as many people into the pews as possible, often with the air conditioning being 'broken', etc.  I have far better things to do with my time than listen to someone drone on and on about uninteresting fiction, and then trying to peer pressure me into paying for having my time wasted.
