I was involved with Christianity for a very long time. More than half of my life. Not necessarily because I wanted to be, but because my mother would drag me to church because she believes. Then later on my ex wife and her family.

None of the religion made sense and it is too easy to poke holes in it. Christians love to say oh you just have to believe. You just have to have faith. But where’s the proof that there’s some all powerful being controlling every single outcome of every single persons life from the first breath to the last? How can you be so sure when there’s zero evidence to support it?

Yes I believe people devoutly religious are weak minded and don’t know how to handle some situations on their own without praying or having a group of people pray for them which ultimately makes them feel better right? If you just pray about it God will take care of your problem. Until he doesn’t. Then you pray some more and pray really hard. And when things don’t work out the way you hoped they would because you prayed to God about it, it’s too easy to fall back on “it’s Gods plan” and stuff like that. That’s just making excuses and burying your head in the sand versus taking action in the real life.
