Religious Indoctrination: Your earliest experiences.
#10
RE: Religious Indoctrination: Your earliest experiences.
Well my whole story is laid out in plain view if you wanna know about it in the deconversion section. Long story short I was abused a lot by a lot of christians, one christian kindly to me and of my own accord I followed her to church, hated atheists for not believing, endured a series of extreme losses, questioned my faith, started asking too many questions, got too few, too unsatisfactory answers from both others and the bible itself, and the foundation of faith collapsed from under my feet and left me with nowhere to go. No religion or philosophy had any meaning to me. They all had a bunch of silly tripe. Buddhism, taoism, judaism, catholicism, protestantism...they all mean nothing. They burble platitudes whose basis is in fantastical stories that provide no evidence for their wild claims, and thus have no foundations for their supposed wisdom.

And then I came across humanism and the Golden Rule. Do to others what you would have them do to you. Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Simple concept. Based not in any fantastical claims; based only in me, myself, my own perceptions.

And in humanism, I was granted peace at last, of the kind I never felt before.
