I 'sorta'-half believed in God and Jesus till I was about 8 or nine when I saw a program about Charles Darwin...but I didn't really understand it...so the belief wasn't really reinforced...I didn't believe in God anymore for 3 reasons: 1: I had a very very VERY basic understanding of Darwinism. 2: I now thought the idea of God was absurd. And 3: I thought "If God does exist he could do better...sometimes I think if he DOES exist he can be very very evil".
Then when I was about 18 I went through quite a lot of stress and suddenly 'found The Secret' which I'd watched a few months earlier when I was 17. I used the secret to try and 'create God' then I believed I'd found God....
I recovered as soon as I stopped believing in God...then I recovered some more when I realised 'The Secret' was bullshit....
And now I've MORE than fully recovered and went beyond how I've ever been after reading TGD.
That's my story... I am now a de facto atheist 6.9 on the spectrum.
