As I was born into A Christian family I was as expected, to be christian. I was until I read through the bible and found that all of it was, at least to me, childlike in nature and hypocritical about all of its content. For instance, "GOD" tells us to be good to all men, but then being gay is a sin punishable by going to hell. Then I started to think about whether there is a "heaven" or a "hell" to which all of the majority of people, the "sinners", would go to when they died. Also I had thought about all of the televangelists on the subject of doomsday, then it had occurred to me, it was all crap. They would spout off about the "Antichrist" and when he would come and dispose of the world. That was also a key factor because in the bible it says that an antichrist is a person that doesn't believe in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, but all of the televangelists kept saying he, a single person. That really pissed me off because if the want me to say I believe in a god, then shouldn't they get their stories straight. Some Christians would defend them by saying, "Well, they were talking in the majority or as a whole or as a metaphor to tell us the truth". Well I don't buy it. I think any religion in general was made to keep us from going and doing what animals did, being themselves, and to keep us from being real humans so we don't think about what could happen after death and to keep us from sex, and to make us not judge others when we can do things for ourselves like be our own masters of destiny, and not some other "heavenly" body. The whole point of Christianity is a well developed excuse for things we don't know. All I see when I try to picture a "Christian" is a brain- washed person trying to cope with human instinct and for solace in a unknown world. The bottom line is: I don't believe in things I don't see.
