[quote=Anonymous]I guess I would say I "lost my faith." And I'm grateful for it, because I view it as seeing the truth. Perhaps there's a very limited sense in which I miss the "comfort" of faith -- like the belief that you'll be reunited with your departed loved ones in the afterlife -- but because I don't think that's true, I view it as a false comfort, so I don't really miss it. The reason I lost my faith is essentially the "why do children get painful cancers?" argument and the so-called Epicurian Paradox. Innocent children die very painful and violent deaths all the time. If God exists, why isn't he preventing that? Easiest and most obvious answer for me was that he doesn't exist. So that's how I lost my faith.[/quote]
