I didn't turn my back on god. First, I grew up. I was 23 years old with 2 kids and another on the way. I was watching myself drown under the pressures of being a Christian even when it endangered our lives. Then I grew up and decided if no one else was going to take care of us, I had to. At that point I simply accepted that god wasn't going to help us and so I helped us myself. Eventually I realized that there actually was not one single reason to believe in god. None. No evidence whatsoever. I didn't turn my back, I just accepted that I had been lying to myself and there was no god.
