Nothing happened to me that made me turn atheist. No teen angst, no resentment of God, nothing. I was born into a theist family and overtime I just thought that the stories in the bible sounded more and more make believe. Even at a young age, I knew that science proved that the Earth has been around a lot longer than the bible said. That was probably the beginning. I thought the story of Noah's Ark was extremely illogical. I was also doubtful of God's "love" whenever the bible spoke about his wrath. I always thought it was weird that so many people would think of God as some all loving being when his anger killed so many. As I grew up, these ideas grew up until the point where I was agnostic. I was agnostic for a short time just because I was slightly afraid of letting go of my belief completely. Within a month I let go and I guess I've been atheist ever since. I have no hatred to anyone who believes, I just don't believe. Simple as that.

  • I just wanted to say the bible doesnt say the [i]earth[/i] was made 6000 years ago though. The days of creation have been interpreted by many, many linguists as being periods of time and not actual 24 hours. For example, "back in my father's day." Not 24 hours, but a period of time. All else is opinion though. Carry on in your belief.
