If you were once religious, why are you not now?

freedom41 comments on Apr 30, 2018:

When I bought into the bs, I was baptist. I felt unfilled and tried catholic and morman, because I thought that was were god was leading me. A family member had a problem with that and told me your baptist and should know better. I started to doubt there is a god in my 30s and thought changing christain sect was the answer. I finally realized there is no god and did away with closed minded crap of religion. I do wish that I became atheist first instead trying other christain sects to solve my problems. My life has gotten a little better since I did away with god and religious bs. I hard to believe how closed minded I was in my youth. I'm more open minded now and glad for it. One of the first things I did when I became an atheist is throw the book of mormon in the trash.

freedom41 comments on Apr 26, 2018:
