I still go to church. Never stopped.

I never went to church unless my family was doing some event with my grandmother

I wasn't raised particularly religious, and never had it forced down my throat

Most of my knowledge of christianity came via friends and pop culture.

At the age of 17 I read both the bible and the quran, then Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" and decided religion was kind of dumb, but I kept it to myself, because any time I try to explain why the concept of religion is silly I get adhominemed as a fedora tipping neckbeard, and at the end of the day it really doesnt hurt me if someone believes in something stupid.

Excuse me kind sir, but this is a euphoria-free zone. Please go to a more enlightened website, such as reddit.

I've never been to church in my entire life.

My parents' philosophy was to let me make my mind up about faith for myself. By the time I was old enough to realize that most people take the notion of God very seriously, I had no reason to believe. I'd read all about how science had debunked werewolves and vampires and witches and fairies; I also knew that some folks still believed in magic and the occult.

In my mind, even when I was eight or nine, there wasn't any reason why I should choose not to believe in the Wolfman but believe in God. What's the difference - that more people believe in the latter?

Not trying to be edgy, either. Nobody told me about God growing up so I just never cared about Him.

You've been goyed. This is what Dewey wanted by removing logic/philosophy from public education. God/Christianity answer philosophical (metaphysical and epistemological) questions that a random fairy tales do not.

Kinda weird upbringing, my mom is white but is a practicing Buddhist. But my grandmother on her side is a deep rooted Lutheran and I was baptized and forced to go to conformation classes every wensday for 4 years. Mostly just did it to keep my g-ma happy. The bible has some okay stories and I was into Greek myths as a kid so I kinda went along with it. I don't take church seriously as I doubt god (if he's out there) really cares if I check in with him every week. I hope he's like a long distance friend that you don't talk with much but you know its all good when you do see each other.

>answers questions by way of unsubstantiated and magical stories
>"you should believe it because other people do"

I've been in the Church for a while. I've seen very bad and poor testimonies of life, as well some that impels one to be thankful blessed and Saint people still exist

I was a true believer until I was a senior in high school. I would have given you the shirt off my back if you asked me for it.
Now I just go to fuck around with my boys I grew up with and hit on cute church girls. I smoke on the other side of the block in seclusion. I drink and party.
I find Christians nowadays to be very joyless, dry, or boring people.

When I was 16 until then my parents managed to force me to go

Was forced to go twice a week until I moved out at 18
