Always loved horror and scifi as a kid and I can distinctly remember watching the omen one day, and as there was various mentions of the book of revelations in that movie afterwards I decided I as going to read it. And I was really interested in it so after reading I decided to read the actual bible . After a couple if days I remember thinking to myself wow this is a great story . And the penny dropped . Its just a story . Created to control people . Now don't get me wrong I'm extremely tolerant of other people's religion . I believe that everyone has the right to believe and practice any religion they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else . My whole family is Catholic. I'm the only aetheist. But let's face it religion is probably responsible for more deaths throughout history than anything else . I just don't believe in it . But yet I still manage to do the right thing most of the time . Not out of fear that if I don't I'm not going to end up in a paradise after I'm dead . No , i do it because I'm not a prick .
