The main thing that started raising doubts in mind about my faith was the problem of evil. For example I could not see how there was so much wrong with the world and god being who he is was doing absolutely nothing to fix some of the problems. Here is a list of the things that bothered me the most.
1. prostitutes and drug addicts being so fertile while honest couples that really wanted children were unable to have them.
2. Children born with birth defects such as siamese twins, rearranged organs, awkward growths on their bodies, dual sexual organs, extra or lack of appendages etc.
3. why bad things happen to good people: it seems like bad people get away with all sorts of shit and live forever and good folk who have a zest for life attract all sorts of maladies such as cancer at a young age etc. Not scientific facts just observations.
4. World hunger: why are these people in the poorest countries in the world so fertile if supposedly according to the scriptures all children come from god. If this is the case then his judgment stinks.
5. The abuse and murder of innocent children and animals the world over
These are just some examples, not to mention the many contradicting tales of Jesus death, trial, and resurrection as told in the synaptic gospels and the book of John.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
