I was raised extremely religiously. Two things caused me to utterly and complete lose faith. The first is that God never answered my prayers. Not once.

The second is that I read the bible. To wit:

Alawen, you should know by now any religious person can refute your points by the process of cherry picking. Just how religious people ask how atheists could have morals without religion. Then they further show their arrogance by saying that the bible lays out all the moral pathway anyone would ever need. The funny thing is that they don't realize that the moral codes from the bible are actually reflected by the changing general consensus of society and culture.

And you sir your knowledge on god is thin. If you believe anyone has to follow the Bible 100% you sir missed the point. Its why we have so many denominations on religions as it is. So many different view points. The bible will forever be translated CTed etc. The point being is developing your own belief system. Worshiping God with others doesn't mean you have to agree with every point they and or the bible says. What it does mean is you both have an understanding on who the lord is. You worship in his name, and give thanks for things as well as forgiveness for doing wrong. The moment you start praying for others , even your enemies. Is the moment you will realize God isn't just about you. Hes about all of us, including the ones who do not believe.

A simple statement I have left for you.

A perfect being would not require worship.
