[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why?

I'm 23 and supposedly most my age aren't religious, but I don't understand how you can just say you don't believe in God anymore? Do you think you're more intelligent because you're an Atheist? I'm pretty free thinking myself, so I obviously don't let religion influence my thinking. So what is it about Atheism that is appealing to you all?[/quote]

No, I'm not more intelligent.  Not at all.  I simply think differently than you do.  I didn't just decide one day that I don't believe anymore.  It took years.  It isn't that Atheism is appealing per se, it's simply what feels right to me.  I could have remained a hypocrite, going to church and trying/pretending all was well and good.  But it wasn't.  So I'm honest with myself and no longer pretend to believe in something that makes no sense to me even after growing up going to church etc.  That's the thing for me.  All I ever did was GO to church.  I sat in a pew for an hour/week, and as a kid attended Sunday school classes.  I don't think I ever got anything out of it.  For a while as an adult I went to church, I took my kids.  I did the bible readings every day.  But I was just going through the motions.  Now I don't.[/quote]
