Religion / Re: Why don't you believe in God(s)?
« on: August 24, 2010, 11:50:24 am »
My father was a Minister and as a child of one i was forced to attend every single time he had to work in church (which was alot), instead of being allowed to play outside with other kids.
Stories from the bible were read to me, and i had to atend a religous activity group for kids, in which we were tought religous songs.
Furthermore thanking something for the food we bought ourselves by praying before eating didn't make any sence to me.
Those events made me dislike or even hate church itself, and i got more interested in the scientific aproach on things and historical explainations for occurances.
So it short, i became an atheist due to religion, or rather the enforcement thereof and resulting alienation felt hostile to me.
I respect everyone no matter their believes, and have friends from various religions, but trying to convert me is pointless.
