When you people publish a tome of the details of your life that lead you to Atheism I will have mine rolling off the presses too. Till then, I refer to my previous response.
I was brought up in a religious home.
When I started to ask for evidence, reasoned argument and valid logic to support the claim a god exists, I was given none. I continued my study in hopes to fine what I wasn't getting at home, only to discover that none of the claims that a god exists could be supported by the above criteria.
I no longer believe in the existence of a god.
Your turn...
Good, one of you finally confessed. I will follow the same format.
I was brought up in a religious home.
I never asked anyone for evidence, but looked for myself because I did not want to know Him only by faith. I went to Bible college, took a class on logic, and worked through, what I think, were some pretty complex logical models of why the universe began, how it began, and then I started exploring Evolution and Creationism and comparing them to the logical models I had created in my mind. Since then it is a regular part of my life to read books, articles, blogs, and to accumulate stories, eyewitness accounts, and my own experiences about the existence of God. That is why I said I would have to write a voluminous tome to go into all the details.
I believe in the existence of God faithfully, logically, Scientifically, spiritually, and morally. I am sure there are other reasons why I believe in Him, but they escape me.
