[quote=Anonymous]Really interesting conversation. I think it's the combination between the personal tragedy, and religion offering you no support during the tragedy. It may be that religious people let you down, or that your type of faith itself was never actually the kind that would support you during a tragedy. After that, religion seems essentially pointless. I never really thought of it that way, but that kind of describes how I ended up as an atheist. I was a cradle catholic, mother died a horrible protracted death when I was 12. No actual support from any adults in my life -- the only ones who did support the kids emotionally were not religious, and were pushed away from us for that reason. So I saw the hypocrisy or futility of religion from a young age, coupled with tragedy, and ever since then religious has had no point for me. [/quote]
