A question that has long vexed me....is there any truth to the claims made by about 35% of atheists? The whole "the church hurt me deeply" thing. How many actually have some kind of horror story, and how many just don't like the idea of god telling them what to do? I stop short of saying that people who start with the "when i was a kid, the church was mean to me" line are liars, because I'm sure SOME of them must be telling the truth. It's just that ALL of them can't be. There have to be other versions of this out there. Like "I went but it was boring, and I don't believe that stuff is true." 3 cheers for directness and honesty. But this "church is evil, and its members want to devour your soul and leave your grandparents penniless" nonsense is really getting old.
I'm proud to go back to church next Sunday to see how they been doing. Been gone for 2 months, and it hasn't done me a damn bit of good.
