Atheist Quotes:
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. " (Seneca)

I grew up Christian but had a crisis of faith in my early teens and I have never been the same but I am trying to keep an open mind. Although I recognize good contributions Christianity has done in the past and is doing at the moment, I sincerely disagree with many of the teachings of the church especially the concept of hell (that goes for the Mormons, Muslims and any other religion with that belief). I get frustrated with Christians especially and other religions when they just make claims to which they do not offer any hard evidence for.
