The only part I wanted to be true was the afterlife part, anything after that I found quite hilariously flawed and stupid. I was one of the only kids in my class growing up who knew how flawed the idea of Santa was for example, I didn't believe it and I'm shocked how the other kids didn't put the pieces together when they found out Santa was a lie so maybe God is a lie too. To me that's deep indoctrination that I am strongly opposed to, anyone I knew who went to private religious schools were heavily scared to even question their beliefs in their own head. They were scared to think...I could never believe in something let alone worship something that makes you afraid to think. Truly it was the sadomasochism of the times, personified and anthropomorphized when the religious texts were written and I wanted nothing to do with bronze age people who did such barbaric things as they did and worship a horrible dictator figure ancient apes made up. I wont even call them people since we have evolved far away from the apes (primitive people) of the ancient times, we are a completely different species, as we will be from people hundreds of years from now.
