Yes, I was once a full-out Catholic. I went to church a lot, I prayed with my family, and I read the Old and New Testaments a few times. I was even involved in church services and I had a class in my church about the Bible. Untill one day, I re-read all of the bible literally. My Bible teacher told me that the bible was a literal book and that everything from the Old to the New testaments really did happen. I was a fool to think that. For 15 years, I was confined into my religion until those couple days of me reading the entire bible literally, according to my bible teacher, happened. The day I finished all the way up to Revelation, I was puzzled. I found exactly 87 inconsistances in there when reading the entire bible literally. I went up to my bible teacher and asked her "We are suppose to read the bible in a literal sence that every word has to be consistant with each other word, right?" She then answered "Yes, since this (she picks up a bible) book was inspired by the Heavenly Father up in Heaven, it must, since it's 100% perfect." Then, I showed her my bible, filled with sticky-notes and she literally yelled and said something like "How could you fill a perfect book with these stickies? You are contaminating its perfection!" I stopped her from taking any stickies out, and read to her every single inconsistancy that I found when I read it literally. Then I told her "Well, I read it literally like you asked all of us to, and I found all of these inconsistancies, and there are most likely more." Then she replied "How dare you say such a thing about the bible. You need to go directly to confession immediately and get rid of these stickies." I rebelled and said "No. I see what the bible really is. A book like any other fictional book filled with no truths and inconsistant wording." (I did say that in my class where there were students listening). I see what religion overall is, just a system of beliefs. Throughout my life, I thought that those beliefs were real, but now after reading the bible how Christians and Catholics say that it is to be read, and searched so many things, I see how weak and unsupported the religion is.
Yes, that really did happen. I did get kicked out of that class, and I was grounded for like 2 months. But then, it was like my older brother was following in my footsteps. He wasn't ever too religious to start with, but after asking me questions on how and why I decided to get free of religion, he too went to do some research and he also became athiestic. My Dad too. He know what I did, and he too became athiest. My mom still is a catholic, but not as strong as once before. And that's the story on how I broke confinment in religion
