I was 8 when I was kicked out of Sunday school for asking questions. It wasn't long before me and Religion were filing for divorce.

[@matthewpaul1111]

There's a lot of church "leaders" that are totally ignorant of their own professed religion. Then if a person asks them questions that they cant answer they get angry at being exposed as a lazy SOB who never took the time to study their Bible in any depth at all or study the Christian Apologetic's or the deep philosophical questions about God and life. Guess that is why Jesus condemned those in a church who's faith was lukewarm. People like you and I rejected Christianity and/or Jesus when we were young largely because of the hypocrites and poor leadership in most churches or when our parents cannot answer any tough questions about their own faith. I returned to the Christian faith after through my love of reading I found several Christian thinkers who could answer almost every question I had to my complete satisfaction. Hank Hanigraaff has a phone-in radio program called, "The Bible Answer Man" that tho not perfect (who is?)answered a lot of deep questions I had. Josh McDowell has several great books on the evidence for Jesus being the Messiah and the historical evidence for Christs Resurrection. I love debates between atheists and the top Christian thinkers. One of my favourites is Craig vs Zindler as the poll of the audience near the end is very indicative of who presented superior evidence and logical arguments. Another one is Professor John Lennox vs Richard Dawkins. Lennox calls Dawkins bluff and exposes Dawkins claim that Jesus likely never even existed, as an easily refuted denial of the mountain of evidence both within the Bible and from secular early historians. ( some even hostile towards the early Christians but who were honest enough to confirm that those Christians were willing to face torture and barbaric executions for their beliefs that Jesus was divine, did gr8 miracles, and that many of them witnessed the Risen Jesus) I've learned that we shouldn't reject mathematics because of bad math teachers nor should we reject a religion because of bad teachers. Sometimes we need to be the one who tries to find the answers to our own tough questions. Good luck doing that!

[@VolfKami]

Then they said "we don't do that here, how about we just deny our relationship ever existed"

[@Jodi_Johnson]

Why would someone kick you out of anything relating to the church for asking questions? Legit question. I grew up in church, went to a Christian middle school, strayed from God, found my way back to Him but not without being lost for a long while, took several different classes in college on studies of different religions and studies of the new and old testament, and I asked so many questions through my entire life. I continue to ask questions and I am well into my 30s. I ask different preachers from different denominations all kinds of stuff. I have never been ousted or even spoken down to. Also, I live in the Bible Belt. Whoever did that to you should be ashamed of themselves

[@alextorri76]

If OP is anything like me, then being asked questions means the person receiving the questions is about to have a bad time. I ask questions in a way that can be infuriating because it makes the person contradict themselves. When they realize that happens, they retreat and get mad. If someone is so adamant about me being in “their” religion, they need to be able to present answers without contradicting themselves. If there are contradictions, I will dismiss the possibility of joining said religion.

[@MrAnimason]

@@alextorri76 A religious connection is something deeper than that. You feel it in your heart, the presence of God around you. If you need to find objective and non-contradictory answers from imperfect humans to convince you to "join" a religion, then I wouldn't recommend joining it, because you won't be part of it for long. Also, you don't "join" a religion. Maybe you join a religious institution, but religion is a philosophy and a code of life. No one says they "joined" capitalism, or they "joined" collectivism. It's just something they try to abide by.

In a different good way, to me, it is almost like an expansion of George Carlin! Asking logical questions about something and then break-them down with a mix of ignorance, silliness and knowledge!

George Carlin wasn't asking logical questions. Atheist logicians even agree with that point. For example Carlin didn't even know that there is a principle that makes "magic" impossible but it is also the principle that makes the transfer of properties not possessed by the efficient cause into the effect, an impossibility. A lot of logicians here, seems Michael Ruse (atheist professor) was wrong when he claimed the average atheist is as well educated and justified in their beliefs as the average religious person. If only the father of logic himself Aristotle and of the scientific method himself Francis Bacon, were as logical as Carlin. Somebody correct Wikipedia & universities "Kurt Friedrich Gödel was a logician, mathematician, and philosopher. Considered along with Aristotle and Gottlob Frege to be one of the most significant logicians in history." It should be removed as the 3 of them were theists and deemed atheism to be indefensible due to the law of identity & excluded middle gatekeeping properties not present in effects from being passed down to effects. I need a refund from Oxford after reading KZbin comments. I mean, people here aren't even aware that naturalism can only be had if the PPC isn't true. People get their medical/pandemic/financial information from KZbin videos rather than academic study, it's no wonder the same is happening with the field of logic & metaphysics. KZbin is better than a thesis you have to formulate and defend against the professor for sure.

As I understand it L. Ron Hubbard started Scientology as a joke. He had a low view of the average person and believe anyone could start a religion, heck HE could start a religion. So he came up with this crazy outlandish religion with weird practices, an insane backstory and put it out there. It caught on and before too long it became it's own thing, self-sustaining and he no longer had control of the monster he created. He became just a figurehead.

Yeah, it's said it started as a joking bet as he had coffee with a friend at a cafe. Ron Hubbard, Messiah or Madman? is a posthumous biography of Scientology founder L.

Most highly religious people are brought up that way and never thought to question it, the once that do and still hold on to it, mostly do it for social reasons, because they don't want to lose their community and friends.

I (an atheist) would like to present you with some good faith discussions being had over on Professor Plink's channel. What he does is respond to (mainly) christians who present arguments in defence of religion. I think you would find mr. Plink's arguments very convincing. Unfortuantely, there are almost never any response videos to his counter arguments, most of the reason for that is because the christians making points in the first place aren't really trying to have a conversation. So you will have to come up with the defence points yourself if you wanna have any. I think this exercise will be informative if nothing else.

What he’s talking about is indoctrination. As a child, most people aren’t going to question the authority figures or people closest to them at that point in their life. That’s typically their parents. If mom says God made all of us and his son Jesus died for our sins, then by golly that’s what happened. Mommy wouldn’t lie to me about something like that. Most, if not all religions RELY on indoctrination to form that bond with young impressionable minds. It makes it that much harder for that child to even question it. I remember when my grandfather was on his death bed, my grandmother had a priest come bless him and his spirit. When he was done the priest came over to me, put his hand on my head and said, “You’re thinking of something right now, my son.” I looked at my mom then looked at the priest and said, “Humans have an average of 60,000 thoughts per day so you’re most likely right. However, I am not your son. You’re absolutely wrong about that.” I was 6 when that happened. I haven’t looked back at or needed any religion in my life before or since that happened and I’m doing just fine.

[@RedStarWhiteWolf22]

I love Bill Burr so much for this bit….and so many others of course. I can relate to that feeling of like, “Yes, I want to connect with something greater than me and keep learning about it. But, why do I have to subscribe solely to the beliefs of one or two books or go to a specific location every weekend in order to make that connection or learn about my relationship with whatever that is?” Religious people think other people are crazy for having multiple beliefs. Spiritual people, on the other hand, don’t care what you believe as long as you’re at least not hurting the collective, and hopefully adding to it. Spiritual people majorly seem know: some people just aren’t ready yet to embrace the fact that we really know nothing, and a belief is just one of the first steps to truth. First we think or learn, then we decide what we believe, then we just know without having to believe, and finally, we just are. I don’t pray for others to find anything but what the universe needs them to see to just be a good person and pray they accept what gifts they’re given.

It's funny because I grew up without any religious influence and later on came up with my own belief system, my own gods, etc and if I learn stuff or change as a person I change my belief system accordingly instead of arguing against facts with my beliefs or have my personality be defined by what I believe in. I find it way more chill than I'd expect religion to feel like and I'm able to get just as much moral comfort as I need and just as much as any religious person might.

The thing that is most interesting about Christianity is that it is still around. And most people when they are in terrible situations, life death,call on god for help. Our society literally is acting out what is written in the Bible. Since it was mass produced by the printing press, and is in everyone’s hands, you taught reading and writing for 500 years with it because it was everywhere. And those ideas in that book are how we try to live in the west Incredible .

This is literally exactly how my own leaving of religion was for me. I just drifted away. I spent my teenage years trying to ask questions and they assumed I was trying to troll or be "rebellious" and would shut me down, punish me somehow and sort of gave me a rep as a troublemaker which is hilarious because in the same sentence they would tell you all about how I was the sweetest kid around. Okay which is it? If the quality is "godly" you claim me as your own but shun me if the quality seems rebellious or individualistic? Kay. So when I got to college I just stopped going while I did my research. As soon as I learned about the actual history of the Bible as a book, done. I was done, how could I base my whole life and beliefs on a book we don't even have the original manuscript for? A book that was cut and pasted throughout the centuries by anyone really 🤷🏻‍♀️ a book that has been translated and re-translated to fit very specific narratives for literally thousands of years? Nah. It was enough for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

May I point out the Bible is both a historical accounts of the Jewish people as well as a religious text. The different translations of the text are both cultural as well as religious in origin. Jewish text were appropriated by prominently Greek Christian believers then later translated to Roman Latin . With the advent of the printing press and with other technological and social revolutions of the age of enlightenment, the Bible was translated into many common languages for example English and German. This brought about further cultural interpretations of Biblical Scriptures. Each language used brought its own interpretation of concepts to Biblical texts. If you want to read the original Bible you would read the old testament in Hebrew and the new testament in Greek......ancient Greek, not modern Greek...relevance is cultural context

Scientology has become its own beast but you'll be hard pressed to find the true origin of its popularity.

My wife and I were looking to see who followed the Bible the most closely. I had come from several different religions. I grew up Catholic, then tried Methodist, Mormon, and Baptist. She was mainly Baptist. We found out Christians weren’t really honoring the Sabbath properly and then went to Messianic Jews. We then wondered why Jewish people didn’t accept Jesus, found out that their argument made a lot more sense and started to convert to Judaism. Then as we were really studying the Hebrew Scriptures, we figured out this was all BS. Too many contradictions and the whole God Character was just awful. We just let it go.

Throw in some sat night shenanigans to appeal to more people, a pinch of coveting the neighbor's wife, a dash of stealing (make sure you talk about borrowing a neighbors mower and never giving it back since dude did that and I want my mower back, we can kinda associate that with stealing make people wonder if it is or isn't)...and then to find out he learned how to do all that at seminary school. On top of everything else, preaching about jesus forgiving and loving your wife and protecting your children, then coming home and beating all of us. Yeah, no way I was staying in that religion.
