Because I came to my senses.
I went to a private Catholic school for 7 years, and was quite heavily indoctrinated, so it was an uphill climb. Fortunately, my family also loves science and taught me critical thinking skills, so by my teens I was questioning heavily. By my 20's I'd left the RCC, by my 30's I'd left all supernatural nonsense behind.
Aroura-
You've had an elementary school -level education in the Catholic faith, and in your teens, like most kids that age, you started asking questions for which (sadly) no one provided answers. Continuing that trajectory into your 20's and 30's, you now reject all "supernatural nonsense".
First, have you done any reading of Catholic theology since then?
Second, based on the experience you've described, how well would you say that you understand Catholic theology?
Third, are your parents/family members still Catholic?
