Re: Losing your religion

[(Anonymous)]

I was skeptical about Christianity even from an early age, despite being raised as part of a very warm and welcoming church community. So much of it just doesn't make any damn sense. Why would a loving god allow terrible things to happen to good people? It seems like such a cruel, unfeeling way to teach them a lesson, and the whole "God works in mysterious ways" just sounded like a total cop out, even to a kid. At the very least, it was very obvious to me that if there was a God, he wasn't involved in our lives and he doesn't intervene to save us from anything, so there wasn't much point in praying.

Then as I got older, the behavior of the religious right in politics just made me more and more disgusted with religion in general. People are quick to point out that oh, there are "good" Christians who don't believe in persecuting gay people or punishing women for daring to have sex, there are good Christians who don't hate people of other religions (or no religion) and who don't believe in complete bullshit like Intelligent Design, etc. etc.

And I thought well, that's great, but how come they're being so quiet while the assholes run the show? How much of a pass are we supposed to give them for being enlightened if they're not doing anything to curb the less enlightened members of their religion? So I decided I was done with it forever, and I've been much happier ever since I made that decision.
