I'm glad I found this site. I have become very interested in building a better understanding of why I feel the way I feel when the "hot button" religion topic comes up.

I grew up in a household that never really talked about religion. I remember as a kid I thought it was a little far fetched to believe in a magic man that lives in the sky. I think for myself and question things that seem far off to me.

My little sister converted to catholic before she got married....This really kinda pissed me off and it really sparked my "inner atheist" to really come alive. I thought she wasn't accepted by his family before she converted. It really sat wrong with me.

I also have had a very good friend preach to me before. I told him it made me super uncomfortable and he told me there was something missing in my life. His suggestion was Jesus...blah...

I'm really interested in learning a lot more about how I feel. I can't believe this stuff because I'm a very logical thinker. Thank you all for allowing me to learn with you. I'm hoping I can answer some questions here.

Thanks and I'm glad to be a part of your forum!

Welcome to the forums! Quite often there is something missing in my life, I just prefer to either fill it with something real or just leave it empty. I think a lot of people just want to fill every void they have immediately and in their rush they end up filling them with rubbish... I'm still working on that analogy.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Thanks for the welcome.

I really hated being told "fill your heart with jesus" and you'll never feel that void again. Huh!? It left such a bad taste in my mouth...
