[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I just want to say that I objectively look at the world and find myself still believing in the Lord, albeit less and less recently, but I still believe.

I'll be honest since you guys seem like nice folks who don't judge; a part of me has known since I was 15, that God is not real and that religion is just a joke. Logically, God cannot exist at all and the proof is in the pudding. I try not to let that part of me control my thoughts on the matter because I honestly don't know if can become an Atheist. It just seems so wrong and icky to me and I'm perfectly fine believing in God and what Christianity stands for.

I am not the kind of guy who likes change because it scares the living shit out of me and forces me to adapt to something I've had no experience in. With respect to religion, the devil you know is better than the one you don't as far as I'm concerned.[/quote]

If your belief structure works for you, that's fine. Letting go of religion means letting go of a lot of things, but you've done that your whole life. When you were little you believed in Santa Claus, magic, ghosts, fairy tales, etc. You didn't distinguish between "real" and "magical."

Over time you let go of each of those things, and you accepted that your parents were Santa Claus, fairy tales were stories - sometimes with a moral, and magic (unfortunately) didn't exist.

If being part of Christianity helps you deal with life right now, that's fine. No one is forcing you to do otherwise.  [/quote]
