i will make this simple and short...

i was raised catholic but i never attached to it. i had a hard time believing any of it. i remember feeling depressed as a child about death and the uncertainty of it all. but i don't recall ever turning to god as a solution.

years later, after my parents divorce and a transfer to a different location, i became severely depressed. i was about 15 and didn't have any friends. i was doing bad in school and nothing seemed to be right. so i attempted suicide. it failed. at that time my mom had a used book store in town and i would go down and hang out there. eventually i started looking at the religion section out of curiosity.

i came across a bible and just started reading. i opened up to the noah's ark story, it interested me how big the boat was to be made. and that got me interested in the bible. so i started reading the new testament and became more interested. i wanted to know more about this jesus. so i started going to my parents church. from there i got brainwashed and for the next 6 or 7 years i was involved in the church.

i must admit tho, i was never truely convinced. i always found myself doubting. not to mention my depression never went away. still hasn't. but anyways, this past january i bought a laptop and got the internet. needless to say, with all my doubts, i started seeking out the truth. the real truth. eventually i came across sites that helped me see the contradictions and errors of the bible and that's that. i walked away. it's been 8 months and i don't regret it a bit.
