Re: oh man
Sounds like a dilemma I had. My parents were both methodists, and I enjoyed church for quite a few years. When I got to High School I really started to enjoy science, in turn this got me questioning anything a lot more. My minister at church didn't like the questions, and he certainly didn't give me the answers. I also started to question the idea of believing because I was told to. Without writing my autobiography, this led me to being an atheist. I do not believe in God, or any Gods. I have yet to get proof of the existence of any supernatural being.
Growing up I had no problem reconciling my religious beliefs and my love for science. However, as I grew older I found that my religious beliefs were no longer important to me. They felt like extra baggage that I was carrying around for no other reason than to make my family happy. Once I was out on my own I stopped going to church and have not regretted it since.
