In my personal experience, religion tends to be really, really dumb.

Seriously. Adult at 12? Do you honestly actually believe that shit?

I really dont care what you, random forum member thinks about any of it. \i only stated what I believe in. It has nothing to do with you. I did quote you though. So my bad, I will make sure I respond to the thread in general next time.

Ah the ol' 'I don't care what you think'. Much easier than just tackling the problem head on, right?

Bit of free advice : If you believe in a doctrine that states that twelve year olds are adults, I would be prepared to have your beliefs questioned quiet a lot ...

Well I was raised Christian but kicked that dirty habit when I was 13, but religion still fascinated me up until about a year ago when I exhausted my interest of it and it reached it's natural end point as a sort of general interest. Fuck knows how many hours I spent reading up on religion online or reading books about it or debating it with people [both secular and non secular].

Err no. I'm thinking about neuroscience. You know ... like your brain and that. Oh and common sense. I know it's sorely lacking when it comes to religion.

perhaps you will come back to it when you are older?

like that saying about how anyone who is 18 and not a socialist is crazy and anyone who is 30 still a socialist is crazier still.

Like perhaps you will leave it when you are older?

At least you have challenged yourself and others about it! I think its the least you can do!
And most of us, has the ability to accept or deny any of the religions around.

I agree, which is why it should be left for someone to decide for themselves. You wouldn't indoctrinate your newborn baby into a political party. Why do it for religion.

Sheep who never question their beliefs and thus never really bother to understand them ... what use to a church are they? I wonder how many christened members of this forum actually read The Bible. Very few I would imagine. Why would you want these non believers counted amongst your ranks?

true. But I find it funny that people cant see how, in my own life, after I was about 11 or 12, is when I started to think for myself. I had beliefs, that were taught to me, but it was, when I was able to question them. Agree or disagree.

My bad if I offend anyone. This honestly is coming from a personal belief, and has nothing to do with any groups/
