I used to be Christian, when I was growing up. I slowly lost my faith. The main reason for this was that, logically, I couldn't justify believing that the Bible is true. What evidence is there? I've come to believe that the only reason people believe the Bible is true and are consequently Christian, is because their parents told them that it is true when they were young and impressionable. I believe the same holds true for any religion. If someone was brought up to believe that God was an alien that lived on Neptune, they would believe that to be true also. So, where does my logic go wrong? I would especially like to hear from true believers, to get their point of view. I fully expect to receive answers such as "You're going to burn in hell" or "Jesus loves you even though you're misguided", but I do believe there are intelligent Christians out there who can go beyond that superficiality and offer intelligent viewpoints.
