Doubting Thomas
#6
RE: Doubting Thomas
Maybe the first time I met someone who wasn't a christian. It was in school, and for whatever reason I casually mentioned god or the bible or something. I don't remember clearly, but the person said he didn't believe it was true. There was also a time when I found out people really used to worship old mythological gods like Zeus and Odin. They were just as real to those people as Jesus is to christians. Those old little g gods were no different than the big G god back in ancient times.

I don't think this is the easiest question to answer, because it's hard to remember when certain events happened that started shaking my faith. All I know is that it eventually crumbled until I came to believe that religion/personal relationships with deities, do more harm than help in this world.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
