No, it never has. Freedom of choice is a wonderful thing.

i just never understood why my religion was/is so judgemental. i guess it's not my religion anymore. if i want a religious/mystical experience, i will just cocktail psychedelics and smoke some sally D . I always have a mystical breakthrough. i would rather just be deep and spiritual than subscribe to any type of religion.
but as far as religion fucking me... my mom went crazy and religion was at the forefront of the delusions. i guess i was pissed about that. a pastor encouraged her to get right with Jesus instead of getting mental help. fucktard!

When I was 13 or 14 my parents decided they wanted to start bringing the family to church every Sunday.
After a couple Sundays I told them this is bullshit and I'm an atheist. Things were sort of tense for a while until they found out I truly was atheist and I wasn't just trying to get out of waking up early on Sundays.
In philosophy class in college the teacher asked if anyone was atheist or agnostic and I raised my hand. I was the only person with their hand raised. The rest of the class either ignored me or tried to get me to go to church with them for the rest of the semester. Fucking Mississippi....
Pretty insignificant shit though...growing up in the south a lot of people took religion way too seriously. I pretty sure I'm the only agnostic in my family.
Eh, what are you gonna do?

I was shunned from a community because I wouldn't cut my hair short and burn all of my "unholy" things at a youth group function. The youth minister forbid any of his "lambs" to have any kind of communication with me. He told me that when I could accept jesus christ and listen to everything he says then I would be welcomed back into the community.
That mother fucker was crazy. He had a 2 foot long beard and said he wasn't cutting it off until jesus came down to save out souls. He looked like the unabomber with a huge amish beard.
Anyways, It was meant to be a public shame but I thought it was hilarious. My mom never asked me to go to church with her again and after that she started resenting me or something.

I could go on to explain how religion and having ultra religious parents fucked up my last serious relationship, but that's a long story.
Instead all I will say is this:
fuck organized religion and the judgmental hypocrites who don't practice what they preach.

I was never a Catholic altar boy so I can't answer this.

I can't state that there is no god because I have no way of proving it, but religion is bullshit. Especially religious fanatics that want you to join them.

No, I had to go to a few summer bible study type programs, but they basically consisted of playing dodge ball and eating a buncha Israeli food. It was a pretty good time. Other than that I wasn't raised religious at all, which is strange considering my step father was an ex seminarian.

I don't want to thread jack but I just had this idea. When we die there well could be nothing there, our brain shuts off and that's it. But given the fact that the universe is eternal/will last for a very long time you could come together again as yourself. Even if it takes thousands of cycles of the universe collapsing and beginning again. Yeah, I'm probably crazy
