Several years ago on an internet forum I was asked about the moment I lost faith in god. Here's my response, cobbled together from several different posts:
Back to the question about the moment of lost faith...
You have to have something in order to lose it.
I was never a believer. I wanted to believe as a child, I wanted to feel it, I tried, I went to church even more than my parents did. I just never felt it. Not in the least. None of it made any sense. Even as a child I could see the flaws in the logic that is used in the bible and amongst believers. It just doesn't make any sense.
Mother Goose made more sense! At least it is openly recognized that it is a fictional parable. I just can't stand the game some believers play, expecting the rest of the world to believe their ludicrous fairy tales as literal fact. They want to use the bible, a thousands of years old patchwork of tribal myths and legends, as their guide in life? Great! But they can't expect everyone else to join them wallowing in their fantasies.
So, I never believed. It never computed and still doesn't. Then again, I was quite suspicious of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny as well.
But that tooth fairy sure was hot!!!
We are animals. Why do some believers have such a big problem with that? Did they ever dissect an animal or what? We are animals just like a cow is an animal. How some people deny this is beyond me.
Where will we go when we die? In the ground, we will decay, in our bodies, the worms will play, and when they poop us out they'll say, that goddamn human gave me the shits today!!!
