Actually, I was a Presbyterian Fundamentalist until I was 18. I didn't even cuss or masturbate before my birthday that year. I lost religion when I finally decided that I just couldn't associate myself with the hypocracy I saw around me any more.

Nope, the first gods i learned about were Zeus and Athena and whatnot. I knew that everyone else knew they were just fairytales.

I was brought up religion neutral.

Then I was taught to be a christian in kindergarten and school. In kindergarten the whole thing was too vague for me to understand.
In school, it was just about going to church, which was SUPER DUPER BORING.
Breakthrough came when I refused to go to church because I said I wasn't christian.
Then, I figured my mom was jewish, FUCK YEAR, I CAN SKIP CHRISTIANITY CLASS AND CHURCH GOING!
And eventually I understood the concept of religion.

Suddenly atheism.

that seems like how it happens. when people fully understand one religion, and are exposed to multiple religions, they become atheists.

we see the flaws in the theological arguments, and frankly, find the whole concept silly.

>> No.1734003

Not really. I was indoctrinated from when I was a little kid. Mostly by my grandmother. I prayed and went to church but I never, not for one second believed it. I though it was something everyone does and I just have tog go with it.

When I was 8 or 9 I decided this was just too ridiculous and refused to pray or go to church. My father is a pretty cool guy. eh argued with my mother and doesnt afraid of anything.

I cannot understand faith. I always though that church is something like theatre.

I was pretty religious until I was 16 or so... being christian here is considered to be some sort of tradition, you have no chance of opting out.
Luckily, when I was 15 I went to school quite far from home and well.. it didn't take long to forget all that bullshit.
(btw. I was participating in "Bible Olympiad" - a competition between several schools about who knew the bible best - and I won. That's how brainwashed I was.)

>> No.1734145

well that's different because adam and eve had such robust DNA that many subsequent generations could incest w/o deformed offspring to the point where the population was sufficiently large, during which time the robustness of the original genetic sequence shrank and people could not successfully breed unless their ancestral ties were several nodal levels above, that's why there wasn't a bottleneck effect occurring as a result of the human population starting out at a size of 1

>> No.1734154

>>1734126
that's because when the only people living on earth are a mother, father, and three sons, there is no distinction between incestuous and non-incestuous relations -- incest is kind of a given

Well technically Adam and Eve have the same DNA since god just ripped her out of his chest, and made her grow out of this bone using stem cell. Since they had to have the same DNA, Eve was a male clone of Adam, therefore god probably injected her hormones so she'de become transsexual. That's how retarded the bible is.

Okay, God created Adam and Eve, they had children, and that was not incest too... but and them? All humans in the would would be brothers, sisters father and mother! And this is how hentai incest manga was born!
