I guess I'll paste a response of mine from Ayos' Journal:
No questions from me really. My parents both converted (LDS aka Mormonism) before I was born and I was brought up in it. At first I remember accepting it (hey, you're a kid, your parents say something is true, you tend to accept it as fact), but as time went on I became more doubtful. I never told anybody, even my best friends about it. I went to church in embarassment. By the time I was 15, I'd made up my mind, and I simply approached my parents and explained that I thought it (and any religion) was a bunch of laughable rubbish. Though, not in those words of course =p. They're ok with it really. They don't seem to mind my casual drinking every now and then or the fact that I've had sex, so. =============================================== Sometimes I almost feel superior by not beleiving a religion :/ Though that may be since I just recently finished reading this book. Sometimes it almost makes me angry that they brought me up in their religion. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I feel kind of cheap just jumping in here, linking some content and running off again, but you're all already doing a great job, I'm not sure what else I could add.
I was a victim of religious childhood indoctrination, and I really enjoyed both watching this peice and reading the book. What's probably funny is that my parents (still firmly religious) tried to stop me watching the documentary when it originally aired, and also tried to stop me getting hold of a copy of the book. I'm sure LordSword has heard of (and probably dislikes) Richard Dawkins, and I'd agree he does seem a bit strange sometimes, but it doesn't change what he's saying. First is a documentary that ran on TV here; and of course religious groups tried to stop it being shown =/ Part 1 Part 2 2nd is the book, which references / elaborates on certain parts of the film. Book Every religious person who, upon starting a discussion such as what you guys are having with but with me, has so far refused to seriously either watch the film or read the book :/ There's nowhere I can't reach. |
