[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a pretty non religious place and no one I knew really took religion or god seriously, in fact it was weird if you did, and it still a functioning society with laws and justice etc.    I find all the current religious ideas of god very lacking.  I used to want to be religious, but now I'm very much at peace as an atheist.  like the PP I find the universe/nature awe-inspiring.   [/quote]

This is pretty much me. I had a close friend in middle school who was mildly religious and I joined her at church a few times out of curiosity and also went on a youth group trip. I liked the sense of community but never bought into the "faith" side. Around that same time I had some extended family members join a "born again" church and to me it they seemed like they went mad. Even now I really don't understand some of their actions. And they've been very hateful to me and other members of my family.

PP here - I can relate to that.  Praying in tongues the whole bit, raving on about sin and how god will punish us all for our sins and how every natural event is because god is angry...yeah.  it seems very odd to me too.

that said, I've known some religious people in my life who are fantastic people.  [/quote]
