At another website I explained how I went from brainwashed Catholic to hardcore atheist.

"Who can share an incident in their lives, or a testimony if you will, of something that has increased your faith in God?"

I would like to share the many things that eventually made me realize a supernatural god is impossible, not to mention ridiculous.

I was a brainwashed Catholic. In high school I explained to my friends some of the Catholic fantasies. They laughed at me.

A few months later I told my girlfriend we could do something on Sunday but first I have to go to church. She asked me "Why do you go to church". Her question shocked me so much I was speechless. I couldn't say anything so she changed the subject.

Then while still in high school, the Pastor's entire sermon, two Sundays in a row, was about just one thing: Why we should donate more money for the wealthy Vatican. It was then that I realized the Catholic Church is not a religion. It's a business and the customers are suckers. I never went to church again.

I was still not sure about the existence of a god, thanks to intense brainwashing from 1st grade to 8th grade. I just stopped thinking about it. Later I decided the god thing can't be real. Then much later, after studying evolution, my atheism became stronger than ever.
