i'm not an atheist, yo! i didn't abandon a belief in god. i didn't have a trauma that shook my beliefs, which is what i think you're getting at. that just wasn't the case.

I personally went to church un-regularly, when I was a kid. I stopped as a teenager because I was betrayed by those in positions of ministry. It caused the divorce of my parents, and other things that made me to be bitter towards Christianity for a few years. But I later found that my faith in God wasnt what should have been shaken, but in men who shouldnt have been put on the pedestal of my heart. If that makes any sense to you.
But if you truly believe in your heart that you were taught lies, that the Gospels (or any other faith that might suit you) then I suppose nothing else can be said.

i don't think i was taught lies ... not in a malicious way anyway. i just view christianity as mythology, next to greek & roman mythology and all other religions.
