As I grew up I started seriously thinking about whether or not I find the things in the bible acceptable. I was taught that god wanted us to come to him willingly, but there are some pretty big cultural differences between modern day and biblical times. The idea of someone ruling over me, and killing an innocent person or animal to absolve me of wrongdoings is quite foreign.
A lot of the stuff in the bible doesn't hold up well to scrutiny. Either because it's factually wrong, or outdatedly immoral. Since I couldn't keep following it in good conscience, I left. I also found reason to believe that Yahweh and Jesus never existed at all, on top of doing things I find wrong.
