How I lost my faith in Christianity at 4

[highdimensionman]

When I was born my dad was a vicar and my mum a nurse.
My first confusion with the bible being taught to me was when I read my first encyclopedia.
I could not see how the real world I was seeing more of related much to these old stories.
Before I read the kids encyclopedia I just thought that was what life was about old stories.
Then my dad lost his faith and I was egar to explore this real world more I had read my bible stories and didn't see much point in going any further in that direction. I lapped up the chance to not go to church and learn more instead.
From this point onwards I was more interested in the progress of man than any words the bible had to offer.
My mum did try and frighten me crap about satanism. I suppose she thought if I can't get him to see any worth in such a god maybe fear of satanism would help. I had a few weird dreams but I wanted to know mans world today more not old wives tales.

You read an encyclopedia at four yours old? It’s impressive that, with such a start, you turned out so stupid.

It was a children's encyclopedia full of lots of illustrations and not much text and yes I liked it because it took me to a new place in my mind far away from bible stories towards where man is now. It wasn't much but for me it got me dreaming instead of just sleeping. I also built a crap wooden robot and dreamed how one day I would create my own friend. I found I loved progress and didn't really have much time for fairy tails unless I was dreaming about the future. Since then I have only really read non fiction as I love it so much.
