[quote=Anonymous]I was raised evangelical. We went to church 3 times a week, my parents held weekly bible studies with friends, we went to Christian schools, etc. Then, something awful happened. I saw the world differently. The idea of a loving and protecting god was gone. Then, on a challenge from a high school teacher, I read the entire bible. I could not reconcile the Old Testament god with the New Testament god and found some of the morality appalling. Who was this god and why was he such an asshole? I spent the next few years pondering it and science and decided that, given the available information, I don't think there is a god. And, even if the bible has identified the right god, he's too morally devoid for me to follow/worship. If he exists, he's not loving or compassionate. There would be no real reason for evil, disease or destruction. No good parent would torment their children to see if they still loved them. That's just wrong. If he could beat all that is evil, WTF is he waiting for?[/quote]
