Hi Folks!!!

Hi folks how is everyone?

Well I was raised in a christian family so I was thought to believe the fairytale. I use to strongly believe in God and religion but since a kid I had lot of questions that people didn't want to answer. At the age of 16 is when I really started to dig in deeper and do my research, at first I found it hard to accept that religion is made up but I kept doing my research and now strongly believe that there isn't a supernatural being above us. I always found it hard to believe stuff in the bible even as a kid.

Hi Gypsy, welcome aboard! It's always encouraging to hear of people shaking off the god-squad shackles, particularly so when they do it at such a young age.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Welcome FlyAzz!
So.... you believe there isn't a god? Or you don't believe there is a god?
Do think about the difference between those two statements.

Hello, and Welcome!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
