My Story

[JamesSS1989]

It all started when I was in high school. I lived with my dad and my biological mom who abandoned me when I was 6. So shortly after that my dad met my now step-mom who is somewhat of a religious freak, my dad on the other hand, not so much. Soon after they started dating and all that, I was going to church more & more. Sure it seemed all good & dandy at first, but a few short years after that, thats when I started having my doubts in this so called "Superior Being".

I kind of just dismissed those thoughts because as a kid I was practically force fed this bullshit we call religion nowadays. But anyway, moving on. Later on into my teen years I was finding myself going to church less & less. When I was a little kid and as a young teen, I ALWAYS hated when people talked about religion because they always tried to force it on me.

When I was a senior in high school I met this girl who was a Christian. 6 months after we started dating the bitch leaves me for unknown reasons to this day. After a year and a half of "praying" for her to have a change of heart and take me back with NO answers at all, I pretty much said fuck it. Every time I would pray to this "being" I felt nothing in terms of feeling better about the situation. About a year after I graduated from high school I met this one guy who was friends with this other dude...who happens to be a religious nutcase.

All he would ever talk about 98% of the time was this "God". Sure I went with it to make him happy and all. But now I have moved away and I say I'm glad I did because I couldn't take it anymore. This god shit was being forced upon me once again. All I gotta say now is, I am now a Atheist and proud of it. I feel more free than I ever have in my whole life.

So the christians annoyed you till you left. This is a new one on me normally people see the religion for the nonscensical crap it is by seeing holes in the logic or becoming unsatisfied with what the church offered or, like me never believed anyway.

Anyway welcome James

Thanks for the welcome. Its not that they scared me away, its just that I plain quit believing because I wasn't getting any benefit from it at all. I prayed most of my life, never worked/helped, read the bible a few times, shit didn't make sense and I had no GOOD reason to believe anything that is said in it.

Not groveling to Yahweh the Bloody-Handed and his illegitimate "son" will do that for you.

Enjoy.

james maybe there was something wrong with her and you dont know it or something bad would have happened if you get together.sometimes you think that something you wanted is the best for you when in fact it is the worst you just dont know.(maybe later you will find out) this happened to me a lot then i stopped thinking about anything that make me sad as some of the problems i had before turned out to be the best for me
