(June 30, 2014 at 10:20 pm)Thumpalumpacus Wrote: It started when I was twelve, and lived through the revolution in Iran. That brought to my mind the Problem of Evil. I kept faith for a couple of years afterwards, again out of fear, but the questions kept mounting and I couldn't reconcile what I'd been told about God with what I'd seen around me. On seeking answers by reading Scripture, I started rereading the Bible, and that was enough -- once my fears had subsided.

Yeah, reading scripture is the road to atheism. It's why I'm always so surprise that Christians keep suggesting it. I think it's because they haven't really read the Bible themselves.
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.
