Everard G.....It's not because of my "debilitated mental powers" (though I don question that myself sometimes but not where God is concerned) but more due to the fact that I just don't use that word that much..no disrespect intended. Thank You for answering and I wouldn't have asked had I not wanted to know the answer :)

Hey, funny fundie, it's spelled A. T. H. E. I. S. T. S.
Of course I realise
a) You won't remember this because of your debilitated mental powers and
b) You don't believe anyone who doesn't believe in your sadistic god deserves any respect in any case.
I won't bother answering your question cos I know you don't really want answers cos I KNOW you'll pick another fundie to give the 10 points to cos that's what you're like.
See, we can all assume BUT I'm right and you're wrong.

Intellectually, yes. There were centuries of philosophical arguments about him to be worked through. Emotionally, I really had to work at it. I was not much for "feeling" the "spirit". But eventually my mind caught up with my heart. There were just a few critical points that required the complete suspension of disbelief, and the reasons for them weren't justifiable. The best way to "serve" God was to serve humanity, so why was God even necessary?

Yes, because my parents told me to say my prayers every night and started me out believing in God. But when I reached my teens and had to teach little kids at Sunday school about Sampson, Noah, Jonah and Goliath ... my developed reasoning skills kicked in.

yep. And I stll believe in the concept, though I have expanded and expounded upon it.
I just don't believe in the practice of christianity anymore.

no, even as young as 5 the concept of God living among us wasn't something I thought about.
For a long time now its been my basic way of thinking that I got to see or feel it to believe it.

"Atheists," you mean? Sure, I once believed in God: I came from Christian roots. I started having my doubts in my early teens, and walked away entirely sometime in my early twenties. I'm thirty four now.

Nope. Was there ever a time you believed in spell check?

Yep. I figured it out about the same time I figured out about Santa.
