Re: Losing your religion

[(Anonymous)]

When I was a kid my mother would take my brother and I to church on Sundays. I can't remember the exact denomination, but it was pretty liberal Christian. So I grew up with the idea of a Christian god, and in my childhood I guess that's what I believed. (Having spoken to my mother I have since found out that she didn't take us because she was religious - she took us because she wanted to give us some semi-formal form of moral education. And certainly to this day I can't find myself disagreeing with any of what I learned in Sunday school - I think she picked the church pretty carefully, with that in mind.)

When I became a teenager I found myself becoming more unsure (we didn't go to Church anymore, and also I was beginning to be exposed via the news to some of the ideas that radical Christians espoused), but I decided that I probably didn't have enough life experience to decide what religion, if any, I wanted to follow. I couldn't consider myself an atheist, because I knew I did believe in some form of higher power, but I basically thought to myself that I'd figure it out later.

In my early twenties I found that I no longer could believe in any God. I will still, on occasion, find myself 'praying' (which is to say, saying something like, 'Oh, jeez, please let this work') or find myself feeling like I deserved something due to karma, or whatever - but then the rest of my brain points out that no, cause/effect doesn't work like that.

I find it hard to say why I don't believe. I've been sitting here trying to type out why, but I keep deleting my answers because they're incomplete... I suppose, in the end, I just don't.
