An interesting explanation from a former Christian for why he threw out the god bullshit. Internet name "Goonie Works".

To use logic and reason to navigate though everything in life but have to suspend it when it comes to religion just doesn't make sense. Are you a creationist? What are your thought on relgion and do they differ than how you were raised?

Congratulations and welcome to the 21st century. On your own you figured out your brainwashers were morons. Not everyone has what it takes to grow up and face facts, but that's what you did.

Grades 1 thru 8 I was brainwashed in a Catholic school but I never bought the hell bullshit. At a public high school my girlfriend asked me why do I go to church. I could not answer the question. Not long after I threw the ridiculous nonsense out.

I remember in 1st grade being taught the creationist bullshit but it was never discussed after that, and we never learned any science those 8 years. In my 1965 high school biology class my incompetent teacher never once mentioned evolution and it wasn't until after I graduated from a university that I first heard the word "evolution". Nobody I knew ever talked about it and I didn't even know what the word meant. I became an atheist without ever wondering why we are here. I was only interested in math back then. When I got interested in science I read 5 books about how evolution works and the evidence for it. Now I know evolution is the strongest fact of science and the creationists are total morons.
