Okay, I'm typing on my phone so I didn't feel like going into the 20 other reasons why I don't believe in God or know what I believe. But yes, this is one of the more pervasive reasons I have.  The idea of religion/church/God is wrapped together and if so many of the more fervent religious people I have encountered in my life are also the ones that smack their kids for no good reason and treat others badly and not know they are mean (I have greater respect for people who own up to their actions, right or wrong) then I'm going to be doubtful about the institution of religion as a whole.  Btw: wasn't the point of this thread to ask each person their own reason?  No, I didn't draw this conclusion based on a handful of people, it's been years and years of thought, sorry I wasn't able to encapsulate every reason for you.[/quote]

If I said, "I believe, because the nicest person I ever met was a nun" would this make sense to you? Probably not. But it's analogous to your rationale. [/quote]

Deciding whether or not you believe in God is a very personal choice, it wouldn't make sense to me because I'm not you. If that made you believe, go for it, why would I care?

If someone said to you they don't believe in God because their child died at a young age, would you judge them for making that decision based on that one incident?

Like I said before, there are other reasons why I don't, not just this one, nor was there "just one person" that has made me feel this way.  For what it's worth, I went to a religious university and was made to take theology courses as requirements and so I've contemplated this before.  Maybe I chose to write about this reason because it has been on my mind recently. [/quote]
