My mum spent 12yrs imposing christianity upon me.
Believed at first, then about 2 weeks after I had been confirmed, I had a long chat with "Father Roy" and decided to 'opt-out'.
Religion is fine for some people, to have belief is a good thing. However, for me it's a no-go. I fail to see the point in devotig so much of my time worshiping a being which is far supirior to my feeble being. I also fail to see what "God" gets out of it.
I studied the bible for many years and have come to the conclusion that Jesus was a teacher. We just didn't learn the correct lessons. At no point in the bible does Jesus get everyone to start erecting buildings to go for worship, nor did he ask anyone to collect monies on his behalf.
Ahh, it's late & I'm ranting. (sorry).
In a nutshell, God himself is proof he doesn't exist.
[Edit] God is all forgiving, so long as you truly repent.
Picture this.....
Spend my whole life 'sinning' (smoking, drinking, swearing, womanising etc.) no real bad ones, no murder etc. Now, when I die, I find myself in front of St Peter being judged for my life.... Believe me, with St Peter standing at the gates to God's pad, I would truly repent.
