(June 28, 2014 at 6:41 pm)Citizenoftheearth Wrote: I was taught that not believing would result in eternal torture. So it was easier to just believe everything that I was told.

What made me stop believing? I started reading the bible

That seems to be a common reason for losing faith. It's a strange book.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
