My view and reasons for them. Atheist and Christians welcome here. (short)

RE: My view and reasons for them. Atheist and Christians welcome here. (short)
I had been a Christian from my early teens to mid thirties. I became disillusioned when I realized all those rules can't be followed, and all the guilt was for nothing. Sure I took advantage of available resources like Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, and Stenger. But the initiative was all me, and I was convinced rather than brainwashed.

So it all flowed from this: These rules are supposed to come from god, god is supposed to be supremely moral, these rules can't be followed, resulting in unjust suffering(guilt)
Therefore this supposed just god doesn't exist, or someone has been lying about what he wants and expects.
