Kudos to all!
Welcome to the forum !
May I ask how you lost your religion ?
Yeah. After I did a little digging on my own I figured out I had been lied to all my life! Until I got the internet I had pretty much accepted the fundamental jargon I had been fed all my life. Then, other things like all this praying crap that don't work and nothing ever changes. As most of you know its faith based religion! Ben Franklin once said "Show me your cemeteries and I will tell you what kind of people you have." Same could be said for religion in general. Accepting things on fact is one thing, accepting things on myth is a whole other story and thats what religion is faith based on myth not fact.
