Why do you choose not to accept xianity? (in the shortest space).
For me its because of all the suffering ordered by god in the o.t. and the choice god gives us (love me or I'll hurt you),oh and the whole proof of god's existance thing.
What's yours?

No proof. (Short enough for you?

)

Science.

1) Never indoctrinated or taught not to question it.
2) Contradictory attributes of God.
3) Simlarity of the Jesus story to pagan myths.

It doesn't make a bit of sense.

I don't choose not to accept Xnty. I chose to accept but was unable to convince myself it was true.

Belief is not something I can do simply because I choose to. I need more. Like, say, evidence.

(There. I think most of those were little words.)

"Unlimited attributes" assigned to this god by men
who claim that this god is fundamentaly "unknowable" or "inconceivable" to the human mind.

Evidence to the contrary.

Attempted indoctrination didn't "take". Also, no proof.
