Born A Heathen
May 8, 2013 at 4:42 pm
I was born a nonbeliever, and I stayed that way because my parents never tried to cram religion down my throat. It only reinforces my understanding of how humans adopt religion. Religion is not freely chosen by most. For most, they are fed religion as absolute fact when we don't know any better, and when we grow older, since religion is the foundation we built our lives on, we dare not remove it for fear of our entire lives becoming broken. It is easy to accept answers for everything. It is difficult to search for the real ones.
"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty." ~ Albert Einstein

Couldn't agree with you more. Welcome, dude

May I ask, why you are an (Anti)-theist/against the belief in creation by one God, opposed to an atheist who believes their is no God, you see you can not be against something if you dont believe it exists, based on what you have written, I "think" you are Anti-religious and wrightly so, as all religions especially "christiandom" are completely corrupted and defiled and spread nothing but lies and deceit, the irony is this portrayal of religion I write you is scriptual, go figure !
