At what age did you grow out of christianity?

At what age did you grow out of christianity?

15 or so

Now I'm saved again and for good

About 13.

Just the ethics of "thou shalt not murder" and seeing how many christians slaughter "heathens". Did it.

9. I prayed for a solid gold dildo and I never got one.

>bad things happening in life grew worse over time
>do something about it, get called out as an asshole in front of a lot of people
>tfw I get pestered about it daily

Will this ever end?

I was raised without religion by Catholic dad and Lutheran mom.

At around 20 I picked up a vague sort of Christianity.

>grow up in church
>take everything at face value
>church community is like family to me
>go along with it all because it's normal because I grew up with it
>realize that I don't actually believe it
>things like speaking in tongues have logical explanations (self hypnotism from the brain believing it to be true, which is why it's always syllables that are already from your regularly spoken language)
>hold no edgy ill will towards anybody, just don't actually believe it
>but still help run the service every week because they need me
>can't tell them
>have to awkwardly avoid ever talking about faith because I don't want to lie

This

Fuck off, you people and your repetitive posts are starting to kill me.

You act like convincing a man that there is no purpose to life is some sort of good thing.

Without Christ, many people would have no reason to do anything but evil.

And, in case I misjudged you, I am going to clarify and say I am presuming that you are an atheist.

I really hope you aren't one of those fags who tries to promote that nu pagan bs like we wuz druidz n shiet.

I do hate atheism but it's much more reasonable than backward jungle tier religions that rightly died out long ago.

8 or 9, about when I leant Santa wasn't real.

Around 13, then at 25 I realized that religion is necessary anything I do so subvert it only hurts man. So yeah, if anyone asks me, I am a Catholic and you should be too.

My mom tried to convert me at 14, I grew out a month later.

i became agnostic at around 15 then relapsed into christianity but became an atheist at 25. im now 29 and am enjoying not having an old man in the clouds watching me masturbate and judging me because of it. the jews have lost their control of me.

I have similar issues. My church is full of nepotism. A single family occupies a sizeable chunk of church administration and oversight positions. They booted out a good pastor with a solid biblical understanding because he wouldn't be their yesman and they cut Bible studies and Wednesday night fellowship. They opened up a "resource center" so they could buddy up with the local government and get connections. Then they hired some moron who thinks being hip and modern is more important than God's word to be our senior pastor and are currently try to remodel our church into a soulless mega church.

It really pisses me off, senpai. Especially when they say, "We need to be more than Sunday christians and be better disciples of Christ." In the back my mind, I'm thinking, "Fuck you, you guys are the one that cut everything back to Sunday service only without study."

And the new twat says, "Christ Followers" instead of "christians". It bothers me particularly because I used to hear it from the zombies at Calvary chapel when I was younger.

Not an atheist, btw. But yes I understand frustration with church far too well for my liking. I can't remember the last time I actually felt happy at church which is a shame because this church was a breath of fresh air and an oasis in the desert for me in highschool. Sucks to see idiots mess up the house of God.

>have to awkwardly avoid ever talking about faith because I don't want to lie

yeah every time my family talk about god shit i just stay quiet rather than admit im an atheist and eternally disappoint my parents.

That is utterly nonsensical.

The rich kikes are the ones promoting moral breakdown and degeneracy and yet you think that their endgame is to stop you from jacking off?

I need to take a break. That's some confusing nonsense right there.

>You act like convincing a man that there is no purpose to life is some sort of good thing.
>this shallow of a view at nihilism
stay mad christ-cuck

Real edgy m8 gr8 b8

i was just shitposting about the jews but im serious about enjoying not having a god judging me.

A few years ago.

But Christianity as european heritage is important to accept it's role in the Renaissance and the eventual dominance of Western culture.

My situation's a little different, there's no administration drama at all and the church has a heavy emphasis on being a community who are genuine friends to each other throughout the week

thing is there's a huge age gap and there's nobody for around 5 years in either direction age wise. The ones after me all have started families, and the ones younger are literal children. So I've slipped through the cracks a little bit with that, partly due to my own trying to hide away

Was never exposed to it

Maybe. I feel alienated in my church due to lack of sound biblical teaching and leadership. If it makes you feel any better, I never saw modern speaking in "tongues" as anything more than people pretending to be holy. That's not to say the same thing probably happened in the past though. I'm sorry you're having a rough time at church, if that helps any.

Behaviour is 100% genetic.
People that need religion, i.e. social pressure, to not be murderous subhumans are not good people and will never be good people.
They are both ticking time bombs and producers of more ticking time bombs.

The only way to have a majority of good people is not through a memetic framework, but through the slaughter of anyone that is not good.

Kill ? Death.
Rape ? Death.
Cheat ? Death.
Lie ? Death.
Jaywalk ? Death.
Put trash on ground ? Death.
Be a nigger or jew ? Death.

Death death death death until only the worthy remains.

Oh, i almost forgot : the ones that ask "who should decide who dies" will be the first to die.

What you're describing sounds similar to the old testament. And the predicament you described can be found in the book of Romans. If you're interested, I'd recommend a read through. I recommend using the Amplified Bible, because it captures a lot of subtle nuances in the text without having to dip into the original languages as much.

I know.
Retrograde time travel will be among the first area of research i'll dedicate myself to, post-apotheosis.

There are plenty of schools of thought for people to choose from. One could even make a claim that purpose is emergent and doesn't need an author. Others could claim only subjective purpose exists, in which a living thing that depends on you to thrive (in any way)... gives you purpose. If you ignore purpose altogether you don't have to end up in some nihilistic hell hole. Absurdism is a case of acknowledging purposelessness and continuing to survive for other reasons (regardless of rationality).

9-10ish.
Became Christian again at age 22ish but a very different denomination. So much so I near view it as a different religion altogether.

speaking in tongues is a meme
don't trust those who do/say they can
the biblical speaking in tongues was xenoglossia
t. Christian

6 or so

I've personally witnessed it, but I notice that everyone seems to have their own "pattern" and it's usually the same every time - eg one person always does "rabababa" and another is "shititikiti" etc. A lot of repetition of syllables and always sounds that exist in the english language. It fits what I understand to be the definition of self hypnotism - they truly believe it's possible so the brain then performs what it thinks it would be. They try and justify this by saying that it's a "spiritual prayer language" but I don't recall a place in the bible that actually talks about that

It sounds a lot like the same thing as how dilbertman says people who recall a past life while under hypnosis always recall something that sounds like it was from a movie and not a place or occupation they wouldn't consciously know about

Not sure if Reddit or leprechaun.

at 7.

came back to it at 30

DAILY REMINDER

I AM YOUR LORD NOW

It's literally just pure utter nonsensical garbage, believing anything otherwise is foolish. Sorry you're so cucked by putting up with religion that you think there's a method to the madness.

When I was 14 I was about to kill myself and asked God to appear in a dream to me that night. I had two dreams, in the first I was reading something that looked like a bible but I couldn't read any of the words. The second I got dragged out of bed and up into the air by something I couldn't see, it made such little sense to me that it was enough to ditch it entirely.

wouldnt that turn the otherwise good people into murderous subhumans?

If a minority of people are good, but have to kill everyone else for being degenerate in their eyes, wouldn't that turn them into hardened, callous murderers after a few generations? if the only way to get someone not to kill rape etc is religion, then fine by me
