it all started because i have a speech problem. i would pray to god every night till i fell asleep that it would go away. the prayer was never answered, and i began to get angry with god. i couldn't see why he, an all powerful being, would make me like this,and why he would not fix me. i had already been confused about my religion since i learned about evolution in elementary school, and i had already questioned my beliefs.
i was laying in bed one night when it hit me; god couldn't logically exist. it was very upsetting to abandon such a comfortable belief system (heaven, loving god, etc.). but as time went on, it became more and more clear to myself that i was right. being such a strong believer in science, i saw god didn't fit into any part of the world.
i'm 17 now and have never been less confused. i notice many people clinging to beliefs because they are comfortable, and others so brainwashed by bible thumpers, radio,and tv,(my neighbors on both sides of my house are pr ime examples) and ignoring the facts (evolution). it almost makes me mad at society for impounding it into us that god exists. i am glad i was open minded enough to make my own decision.
