My deconversion was a slow and casual process.
In middle school I started only paying attention to the girls and my little group of friends. Occasionally something said by a minister would grab my attention, whether it be "If you believe in Evolution you are goint to Hell", "All Muslim people are born evil" or "The world has become a worse place since secrataries started speaking Spanish". Now, I am pretty sure this isn't the view of the church and he was just talking out of his ass all the time, but it was just the boost I needed to realize how brainwashed everyone is. For the most part I went to socialize but when i got older, a lot of my friends stopped coming. The best part was when I was a senior in High School and the week before graduation I saw my best-church-friend. We shared an old story or two and then after amoment of silence I asked "Do you like... believe any of that stuff?" He quickly shook his head, chuckled and said no.
Things to think about or ask yourself.
If God is all-powerful, why can't he just smite this Satan fellow?
The concept of faith is bull$h!T. Let's observe a definition. 'Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.' You can't 'get around' logic.
You know what?... I can't even continue because every notion I want to explore is just too ridiculous. I'm going to sleep.
