I was brought up Christian, don’t get me wrong.
Everything I learn was taught to me (should I dare to say brain washed to believe) , but without facts or evidence, and there are so many ubiquities.
Plus in the past they used to torture or incarcerate anyone who went against the religion. But one of the commandments thou shall not kill. But they did, if you said anything agains them, that proved the bible was inaccurate.
Example Christmas birth date of Jesus , he wasn’t born on the 25 of December, and why does this follow one calendar, and Easter follow another.
There is tons of evidence on evolution, but almost nothing about creation no real dates. Even the Bible was written decades after the fact, and has been re-written a dozen time, meanings change over time.
Why does the church try to cover up?
Or Re-interpret to make it fit
I was also taught other religions was false (thou shall not have false gods) no wonder so many wars start because of religion
Confused

Mentally I know that suicide is not the answer to my pain. Emotionally it seems like it is. It would stop the pain. But I also mentally, intellecutally know that is not the answer. I have a loving wife I have been married to for only 2 weeks, a loving son of 15 years, a new loving daughter of 13 and all sorts of other family both my side and my wife's side. I have a great job and a great life ahead of me but I am feeling so depressed it is hard to go on. I try to express it in poetry and in words. I spent two hours last night with the pastor of my church but my emotional nature will not fall in line. Prayer is not helping nothing is. I am already on one anti-depressant from before to make sure I dont get worse.
The trigger was a recent death at work. The man I did not know so well, reminds me of the death of my last really close best friend. Since then I am finding waves of emotion flowing over me. Increasing the pain with each breaking wave. My mind can't able to process it. Help me

I'm sure he doesn't want us to forget him, but if he is the holy father wouldn't he want his children to mature and be able to take care of themselves instead of always asking him for help?

Most of the atheists answering here have read the Bible, and I suspect quite a few have read the Qu'ran.

Have any of you opened your minds enough to look at it from the other side?

Or have you, more relevantly, read any book by Richard Dawkins or any evolutionary biologist?

(Books by fringe scientists who have produced no significant scientific research who have published anti-evolution books do not count because they do not count as opening your mind).

God sacrificed His son, Jesus, for mankind so that one day we will be able to dwell in His kingdom forever. Why do some people INSIST that God "killed" His son??? Jesus' crucifixion was His destiny. He wasn't meant to be here forever.

How can we ultimately excorcise religion outta the soul of our Mother Earth with all there religious types fighting and killing each other? I mean is there a way to lift this planet above and beyond DaJe-VQQDQQ?! It might seem funny to some of you but we have a serious problem here and that is these religious types to pathetically entrenched into their beliefs to see the Truth let alone the light-They believe this world is going to end and so do the things that are helping to end it rather than support the scientific evidence that shows that driving an automobile is dangerous to the health of this planet-I mean come on Jesus walked everywhere WHY CAN'T THEY! and Jesus did not use electricity that burned tons of coal-I mean to tell you that so long as Religious types place there hearts and souls into this image that they see is protecting them then they have an excuse for MURDERING MOTHER EARTH-Jesus needs to be excorcised from her Spirit and Soul-as well as Muhammed and Allah and ALL!
