medio- LIFE:

0-12 years old : Child is religious beacuse of parents

12-22 years old : Young dude starts to rebel and "fuck god", "hail satan" and shit like this

22-50 : Atheist and snob. Not more the childish "hail satan", but start to have some doubts about the existence of a superior power

50 - DEATH : Man back close to religion, as when he/she was a child, cause you know life is ending and you need to believe in something to give life and creation a sense.

GETTING OLD = getting close to religion.

I think most old people are religious because they're a different generation, rather than people who become religious before they cross the line.

ANGEL OF DESEASE · Post by **ANGEL OF DESEASE** » 11 Oct 2009, 20:33

Yes, but I am also SURE as hell that when I will be 70 years old ( if my life will be so long...) of course I will not still listen Slayer and say "hail satan" as I did when I was a stupid teen ager.

I am not a christian believer, I don't know how to describe my religious thought, but anyway I don't consider me an atheist.

I read a geology book on stuff like mountain formation, erosion, processes that take hundreds of millions of years etc. around the age of 6-7. That pretty much aided in immunizing me against any deep indoctrination. Between the ages of 7 and 11 I attended a Catholic school, went to mass, etc. and I think at around that age I was pretty convinced there was something.

Then I discovered masturbation.

I dunno, but I have clear memory of trying out this prayer thing by asking god for a simpsons toy at the age of 4-5, like the deity was somekind of santa thing and right there kind of realized how stupid the whole concept was. That was my only and last prayer and soon after that i bought myself the toy

When I was young I was forced to go church, sunday school and confirmation. I always hated it and once I hit about 13-14 I realized it was a bunch of shit. That's it in a nutshell.

Pretty much this. I also went to church camp and my fellating lover was beat up and robbed by other people who were there attending, kind of made me think a little more.

I remember when imran was a muslim and was surprised that he stopped believing in it but i dont remember what exactly made him not believe it anymore.

I was always forced to go to church and found it odd that a lot couldn't answer basic questions. I figured those answers out on my own and am now agnostic. I think declaring yourself an athiest is just as ignorant as declaring yourself a Christian.

My mom, dad, grandparents and basically other relatives are extreme religious. I neved just molded to the fit and by the age of ten I quess I realised that I didn't need anything extra-ordinary to guide me on my way to the toilet or frigerator. One other thing was also that I was a "wild child \ AD/HD" and was punished physically many times in my childhood. I think that and preahing the words from bible was also one stepping stone to freedom. I resigned from church when I had the change and that was in 18+ age.

Can't take someone thinking differently than you do?

Pseudointellectual bullshit doesn't answer all questions thank you much

OMG SOMEONE IS AGNOSTIC EVERYTHING IS A THEORY WHAT BULLSHIT THINKING!1!!111111111111111

What's so ignorant about acknowledging there's a possibility of a God? A possibility what we know might be off track? Our knowledge is always evolving and always leaving us with more questions than answers so you can stop acting holier than thou already it'll get you nowhere.

The facepalm is because you questioned me in the "Christian" thread, on pretty much this point. It seems even if somebody spells something out for you you either can't follow it, or choose not to.

I sarded church and the whole religion scheme from childhood. There was a hot chick I sat behind in church and when she stopped going, I stopped going.

Finally met up with her years later and we've been friends for a while now. I'm gonna try and hit it

I replied to you there, you just don't think like I do so if you respond it'll be similar to facepalm or the same responses you always give me "SCIENCE IS LOGIC ANYTHING ELSE IS NOT".

For the most part I agree but understnading other thought processes mean I have to slightly disagree.
