My dad was brainwashed into Christianity when he was 19, so of course, when I was born, he and my mother HAD to pass on the lies to me and my 8 brother and sisters. I attended the same christian school my entire gradeschool and highschool years, and hated every minute of it. Everyone was so fake, very hypocritic. Even as a child, I could see this, and vowed that I would never allow myself to become like them.
Against my better judgment as a teen, I did try to convince myself that it was all true because I didn't want to go to hell afterall. I prayed the sinners prayer constantly, it never brought me peace. It was my divorce at 22 that caused me to break the ties with my family (divorce being sinful).
After that I researched evolution, world religions, and Christianity and found that Christianity was copied from older religions, and the Bible is just full of lies and evilness. I am still very angry for being lied to and having wasted my first 20 years attempting to believe such bullshit.
