I used to be stupid then I became a wise one.

I used to be xtian along time ago, when I realized that every Sunday I was forced to get up out of bed, take a shower and put on clean clothes to impress people I hardly knew nor cared about, and sit in an uncomfortable seat and in a row with the rest of my family (this is from a teen age perception) while listening to some one else's opinion of what he or she thought what god wanted us to do or say or how to think. I woke up from this nightmare and began sitting in the foyer of my parent's church and waited patiently for the crap to be over so we could go and eat lunch. I became disillusioned with the entire fantasy of some dead guy coming back to life, yea, Zombies, that want not to eat your brains, but to telepathically tell this Hebrew dead guy to be your master and have you eat of his flesh and drink of his blood (cannibalism and vampirism) that you will have immortality like him, yea, I am going to be a Hebrew zombie,too. That he will forgive all of your wrongdoings and such and take away some kind of evil that was put there when some rib woman ate from the right tree just at the wrong time and some talking snake told her to do it the first place, and then years later this same god would "wash away all our sinful acts by using a flood" that flooded the entire planet (no geological evidence whatsoever) and then told one guy to build a boat that can hold two of every species known (presumably at the time) and the fact that apparently all species lived within walking distance of Noah's house, so that these animals would repopulate the planet, (question, if god made the world why didn't he just start over with fresh ideas?) so for forty day and forty nights, it rained a lot, then the guy stuck a dove out of the window and it somehow knew to fly to land and the somehow the boat steered itself towards where the dove had landed and the guy then let the rest of the animals out and he and his family were saved, so from what I understand, according to this belief system, at first we all came from Adam and Eve (which in Hebrew means "Man" and "Woman", and no mention of Adam's first wife Lilith) then some bad shit happens between god and man and god has a piss fit (the rain) and kill's every descendant of Adam and Eves. But manages to keep one family alive to repopulate the earth, so every xtian on the planet thinks that all life began from A and E, but actually were spawned by the Noah family, o.k. By the way the "Noah's Ark" story is fine way of scaring kids to act nice and proper, it was taken from a Sumerian story that was told around campfires for thousands of years before the nomadic Hebrews even came to Sumer. The original protagonist in the story's name is Gilgamesh, not Noah, Noah is a Hebrew translation of the name Gilgamesh. I really wish this simple minded people would actually take the time to review their belief system and find out the real history of where the many stories in their big book of crap come from and not put their faith in the book, but rather put their faith into themselves and others and not some dead zombie guy. As for the other Monotheistic religions they all came from Jewish faith and at one time the Hebrews were pagan, they just decided to combine all their Gods and Goddesses into one so that it would be easier to remember one god than many, well let's just say the xtians and Muslims took it one step further and committed a lot of death and torture in the name of their god. And as I sat in the foyer I thought about what it meant to be a xtian and decided to study up on the whole history of the religion and discovered the horrors and death that was spread during the dark ages and the fear that the church had used to control the minds of millions and how now there are more denominations of this ridiculous religion in the world and every member of this political and religious organization all feel the same way, they are right and every one else will burn in some personal hell forever, whatever freaks, I believe in reincarnation. I believe that when you die you will be reborn in another form, (hopefully human) and the soul learns from each lifetime experience and continues on, Einstein believed in reincarnation simply because energy in any form can not be destroyed nor created it continues on in another form. So later on in life I met my first wife and she was a Pagan and she introduced me to her cousin whom was a High Priest of her Coven and he showed me what Pagans believed and they were exactly what I believed and so I became Wiccan and a Druid, as study other pagan belief systems as well, like Buddha and Taoism and other and found that the original Buddha system was a forerunner of Druidrury and I liked that. But I am still agnostic, it's ok to be agnostic and pagan but I also trust in science, I don't believe in science because there are some things science can't explain until some thing or discovery is made to prove the science to be right or wrong. At least with scientists, they will usually admit when they are wrong, xians and their "creation science" won't admit when they are wrong.
