It would be interesting to know.
Man, I'll have to get back to you on that. It's been a while. Also I should have said "one of the factors", but if I remember correctly, this set everything in motion.
I wanted to know more about my religion (being an American Christian, naturally I knew close to nothing about it, besides the neat and tidy bits).
I've always had a healthy curiosity for history and prehistory, so I took the basic facts you can glean from the bible: It's a book, it contains writing, it contains an origin story, it contains a god. I matched those facts against the timeline in which those things were invented and found these things have been around for a looong time prior. Which means there are thousands of years worth of anatomically modern humans burning in hell, if you're one to believe that sort of thing. At the time, this was a revelation of sorts, partly due to my own compartmentalizing, and partly due to me being told the bible was a true account of our origin.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
