I guess I'll introduce myself. My name is Anthony, I'm 46 years old, married, and have a 21 year old daughter.
I was raised Baptist. But after years in the military I became an atheist. I just couldn't fathom a god that would allow so much hate and violence.
But as I have grown older, I guess you could say I'm an agnostic maybe even a Theist. I believe that something had to put us here. But I can't believe that he/she/it can be so vain and hateful as the bible makes it sound. I mean, I can go my whole life doubting the existence and be damned for all eternity. Yet, I can be a child rapist or murderer, repent my sins, be saved and all is good.
How can the bible say to not judge, lest thee be judged? But Priest do it everyday. So called Christians do it everyday.
I believe that organized religion was a way for man to get everyone to follow and do as they are told. No one and I mean no one would have believed in a God had they not been taught to do so.
I guess I'll stop there. lol. Thanks for the add
