"When was it that you lost your faith?"
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I was 18 years old. I was a brainwashed Catholic. I went to church every Sunday. Then I noticed something very interesting. The Pastor, two Sundays in a row, spent the entire sermon talking about why we needed to give more money to the wealthy Vatican. I then realized the Church is not a religion. It's a business and the customers are suckers. That was the last time I went to church.
A few years after that I threw out the ridiculous god fantasy. These days I'm a hardcore atheist and anti-theist.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
