1999 I was 11 XD thanks for making me feel old.

Thank you for sharing. I grew up in a strict christian family, and this is exactly how I felt. It is hard not to feel anger towards my parents sometimes, but I try to understand that the way they are is a result of many generations of indoctrination.

Watch "Celebrity Ghost Stories" on YouTube. These people are not lying. The Afterlife exists.

Atheists are those who worship their own ego as their god. They worship their own selves. Most become religious before death, but when they're loving life they are not interested in God. They usually will be, especially the women, before death. The Afterlife is real.

@mrdarrickevenson Then that just proves that believing is a fear-induced reaction (fear of death).

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but while I am glad you found the courage to think for yourself, but when you've been baptized as a Mormon, it means you're a Mormon for life. Even breaking away from Mormonism doesn't change that. Once baptized always baptized.

SHE'LL get religion again, but only after she's too old for anyone to want to f**** her. Seen it a billion times.

@darkmonkey555 The concept of God came about through evolution, as previous anthropomorphisms of natural forces were consolidated into a single concept. While this required a certain quantum leap, it also depended on a poly-god system and increasing understanding of natural laws. Much like biological evolution, the final product cannot spring ingto existence suddenly.

[darkmonkey555]

@darkmonkey555 -did not have this conception and instead conceived and concluded somehow that water is the key to all life, or trees are magic, etc... The point to be made here is that your inclusion of the line about the concept being alien to some was meant to serve as a defense to your final statement, but in actuality doesn't make any sense together. The second to last line proves we don't have to naturally conceive a god and is good, but the last line is a stretch.lol

@Snakepliskinist I certainly don't think anyone is born a theist, but the notion that we are all atheists until someone "shoves it up our brain" is perplexing. Then where did the concept of a god come from? I think we both know that its very possible for anyone without prior knowledge of a god, pondering their own existence, to eventually conceive and conclude that they believe something created them and/or everything. Just as it's likely someone else in the world-
