Do you do volunteer work at the county jail or something?

My answer is a combination of what other people have said:

1) No compelling evidence that anything like a god exists.

2) Even if there were, no reason to choose Christianity over the thousands of other religions out there.

Nope � just know my maternal grandfather, father, brother, Godfather, clergy members, and the sperm donor. My father has gotten a lot better since divorcing my mother, cessation of alcohol abuse and about 10 years of therapy. My Godfather use to make comments about women being only good for two things � sex and cooking and pretty much treated every woman like a piece of shit. I am the only female in my family who ever stood up to the obnoxious prick. Shortly thereafter he stopped inviting me to their annual Christmas parties. Catholic Church � need I say more? You�ve read some of the nightmare I suffered with the sperm donor � sad, but true � my grandfather is a real trip � explosive expert who liked to drink a lot and had a special fondness for beating women and children � real FUN combination...

Thankfully, no more of that shit in my life � EVER! About the time I figured out men aren�t inherently shitty, was about the same time I started to shed my religious beliefs. The further I got away from that indoctrination, the stronger I became as a person, the better decisions I made as a woman and eventually had the smarts enough to marry one hell of a nice guy

No abusive men or Gods in my life � I think I am cured

I know splorg, splorg is my friend, and let me tell you, Philosoft, SPORG EXISTS.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. You might as well just say "God exists."

Why do you choose not to accept xianity?

It discourages curiosity and condemns those who pursue knowledge.

I don't hate myself that much.

Anyone wish to expand on their reasons? And especially if you have a reason even if God showed himself to you.
