[Serious] For former Christians only, why did you leave your faith?

[Angrboda]

I love how Christians invariably think they know exactly what their god meant.  It's just more confirmation that their beliefs are nothing more than wish fulfillment.

We can study.  We can inquire of Him.  It's not some mystery or God some unreachable deity.  Working within what He states, we can KNOW Him more and more each day.

Oh, and while we're at it, traditional theology generally holds that such understanding is unreachable, thus the negative way. So not only are your assertions questionable, they're not even consistent with mainstream religious thought.
