The transition between faith to no faith.
#22
RE: The transition between faith to no faith.
For me it was mine own curiousity and thinking improving and maturing as I got older. Then in college I met and became good friends with a insanely smart man named johnny. He was odd as he was a genius with ocd but a great company, and one thing he loved to do is challenge himself and others around too think more, and then my natural sense of skepticism and curiousity took over as I started reading the Bible and then critically examining my own beliefs. Now since I had reconciled genesis and the flood and what not my faith lasted right up till exodus. Then I read the story of moses and she all fell apart. After all wasn't this the same god that cared so deeply about free will that he allowed the suffering of billions?
But yet he fucks with phoroahs freewill pretty much because he felt like it. I mean let's face it, could have come up with a much better way to free the Israelites. Then once that doubt took hold the damn floodgates opened and many more popped in. This was in the space of a week.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
