I Am An Atheist! Ask Me A Question!

[Samson]

I agree to this completely. I was raised a Christian (Catholic) and and am frankly sick and tired of people trying to preach Christian ideas to me, like I have no idea.

So were 90% of the membership here (raised religious, predominantly Catholic) who are mostly completely ignorant of what Christianity is about. Being born into a religious family DOES NOT make you religious. With poor religious observance the result usually like with yourself, has the opposite effect.

Who said the 90% was ignorant of what "Christianity" is about?? I actually stated the exact opposite. In other words, the 90% on these forums have been down that road/path at one time in their life already.

Most of that 90% was raised in a religious upbringing (Notice I said, "Most" and not all)... The non-Christian path that the 90% went with had nothing to do with if they even considered themselves religious or not during that time. Just that they simply did not go with the religious surroundings that was in-front of them.

And just as Kyu mentioned.....Most of the Christians I've talked to in the past would state exactly what he said... ."That we were never a Christian in the first place"... Which is a crock of shit for the ones who actually tried to believe and wanted to follow the Christian path, but just could not "Force" themselves into believing in such nonsense.

Hey, I would love to be blissfully oblivious and have such a simple guide to follow, but it just doesn't work like that. My mind just doesn't work like that.....
