Losing belief

Has anything in your life caused you to stop believing in something? Was it tragic? Dramatic? Traumatic? Do you feel like posting the details? Or is life just vampiric all-around?

There was a time when I believed in God. I spent years praying and waking up to the same stuff everyday. It soon got to the point where I just wouldn't talk much but I kept my beliefs. As soon as I reached twenty, that all changed. I was punched in the face pretty hard and had my tooth go through my lip. I stopped believing that day, mainly due to the "Don't slap the other cheek" phrase in the New Testament. Most people say I'm wrong and that I should keep my beliefs. I don't know. I'm atheistic right now.

So what about you? Anything similar?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's a really stupid reason to become an atheist.

Well, I went through a lot more before that and I just figured something would've happened if I didn't hit back. Nothing really did, so I lost belief.

Are we really supposed to talk religion with a guy named "Poopsie"?

It's just a name.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What did you expect to happen if you didn't hit back? God to magically come down and put a gold star on your chest for the day?

No, what I'm saying is, I believed in "Don't hit the other cheek" and just gave up because I knew nothing was going to happen. Yeah, it was my fault for not hitting back, but also my fault for believing NOT TO in the first place.

How ya doing, buddy?
