My parents were raised Catholic but I never had any religious instruction. When I got to school (age 4), and I heard all these grown ups talking here and there about heaven, hell, angels, I seriously thought they were joking well into my teens!
I thought it was like Santa Claus, you know, a big cultural myth, and we all just agree on perpetuating it. The more I heard, the more ridiculous it seemed. Who wants to be resurrected? Isn't it selfish to only want to act according to the bible to receive something (eternal life) as recompense?
Kind of scary actually......I don't mean to offend believers, I'd rather hear from atheists or agnostics. Thanks.
