Question of the Day! by kickstart2006-11-19 12:26:49
  Evangelical Lutheran -> (atheist) by Alcyone 2003-07-11 04:09:09
Before the age of 17 I was Lutheran, didn't go to church and didn't care much about it.

Then I went to USA in a family belonging in Bethel Missionary Church. I had some sort of enlightenment. I considered myself as a Christian in general.

After I came back, I researched a bit about the origins of bible, and found that it was an assimilation of various religions and traditions from nearby regions (e.g. egyptian proverbs; sumerian style death and resurrection). Also biblical errors lead to conclude, that this was not a work by one author. Therefore it was logical to question the belief itself.

I'm no longer in Lutheran church (for other reasons as well, like taxation, conservative and narrow views). I haven't resolved the issue of my religion or whether to believe in a supernatural being. I haven't thought that much lately.

So in conclusion I would say I'm about an atheist at the moment...
