Ex-Christian
My parents were always believers in god of some form, but once I was in fourth grade, that's when I went to church for the first time. I guess one of the Sunday school teachers saw that I was not yet a believer, so she took me aside and made me say the "sinner's prayer". Once that happened, my parents (mostly my mother but my father sometimes as well) began teaching me about god. I was always uncomfortable with the idea of having to publicly worship, pray and praise god, and I sure as hell didn't want to tell anyone about him. By the time I was a junior in high school, not only was I thinking more logically, but by the time I was learning about astronomy in physics, I was doing my own study. This study led me to the realization that much of what has been proven about what we see around us seems to conflict with the bible. In spite of the fact that I still lived with my parents, I decided to end my so called "Christian life". That was 6 years ago, and I have never been the same since I stopped believing.
