Here's my life story in a nutshell. I was raised very religiously, Baptist. I have two pastors in my immediate family, my grandfather and uncle. I was a bible-thumping lunatic until I turned 15 and began to question the answers I had been spoon fed since birth. I couldn't take, "God did it" or, "Just have faith" as an answer anymore without any basis in fact. Spent a short time as an agnostic, then made my way to glorious atheism. My religious upbringing has given me insight into Christianity at least. I'm well versed in the bible, I was studying to become a pastor myself. I've felt the "presence" of god, which is nothing more then the power your mind has over the body. I can debate with the best of them and I will admit I can be a bit of a troll. I'll do my best to behave, however.
Hi dude, it's funny that, when people start to question their faith they usually lose it
Welcome to the Dark Side young Padawan.
Upon rereading my initial post I see that it seems I am a young teenager so allow me to clarify.
I am 24 years old, have a 15 month old son and work in Information Technology. Thanks for the first welcome!
