Thanks everyone 
I was fortunate I guess in that I was a liberal Christian who believed in evolution and open to other paths being equally legitimate. My journey could have been a whole lot worse.
If I'm honest, even though I did believe, the main reasons why I ever went to church was down to fear of death, a need for a ready-made family and the social events which came from that.
Losing all of these so called friends has been difficult and I still feel the need for a structure which church brought me for a long time. I can't however go back because when I did step through the doors not so long ago I knew it was over, there was nothing whatsoever left and I don't believe in any aspect of the supernatural so it's not as if I can take a step sideways and join something else.
I need time to readjust but I feel this is a good place for that. Thanks again dudes/dudettes

I spent the best part of my life believing in an imaginary system which could absolve me from imaginary sin and not only that, by believing in the imaginary deity and taking up the imaginary offer of an imaginary eternal life I was offered the chance to live in an imaginary world up in the sky when I died. And what did I have to do to have all of this? Simple, I gave up using my real brain in my real life in this real world. F*cked up or what?
