1. I had grown up and realized there is no such thing as ghosts, Santa, the boogie man, tooth fairy...
2. If there was this ultimate ghost riding around in his cloud car 2000 years ago parting seas, talking to people via burning bushes, among other supernatural things. Why hasn't he been talking to anyone (other than supposed priests and shit) for thousands of years?
3. I opened a history book and read how the Bible came to be. Including the manipulations of the church, and how things were written back then. As well as the church controlling literacy among other things.
This further reinforced religion is a man made convention for control.
Since coming to these realizations years ago. It has endlessly been reinforced time and again by church scandals, shit people think and believe. As well as the remarks made by clergy and religious folk. Anything that requires blind faith, and the absence of logic, is a scary thing. Especially when so many buy into these fairy tales.
This does not even get into the power mongering, greed, and corruption with evil's of mankind. Not just in the past, but the present.
But I digress....
