SorcererSupremePizza :

When I was a kid, I was told “You’re overthinking it and asking too many questions.” Bro, you’re making me go multiple times a week how could I not have a lot of questions?

TGlas21💙 :

Even as a kid, the math didn’t math.

tonevaave :

Grew up on the church. Started to read the Bible at 14. After I finished I never went back

FilmFiasco :

It’s not even scrutinizing. It’s just reading it in full context.

nomi :

i became an atheist by trying to be a better christian and learning about it deeper 😭

stitches :

My family was confused when I left church after I pursued a degree in Christian religious education

user6817276947261 :

Studying the Bible has convinced me more 🙏

tomiadedeji :

I don't fully understand how my phone works in terms of the technology, but I use it anyway, ai won't throw it away just cos I can't fully explain what was going on inside when I sent this message. I take the same approach with religion, there are things I don't fully understand and that's fine.

postit :

I was expecting my first baby, going 2-3 times a week to church. I grew up in the church. I decided to be an example to my future baby and started to read and study the Bible... Left the church when the baby was 6 months old

FTD News :

I was SDA too. I left completely about 8 years ago after thinking very deeply and analyzing the teachings. Best decision of my life

lcebreaker22 :

Age 11 - went to a Sunday school class for the first time. Teacher told us some passage meant “X” and when I asked why it couldn’t mean “Y” she said, “I’m the teacher; you’ll listen to me.” Got up and walked out. My parents stopped going to church with me.

Digging into a physics book or any book for that matter doesn't lead to confusion, it leads to clarity 😃

Audrey ♋ :

I was tired to play pretend.

Rusty :

I left at 14, I was not that uninformed teenager

🇿🇦🇩🇪 Nonhle | Euro Life :

It’s me. I’m people.

Hanscom 🇬🇭 :

SDA pastor's kid here too. Left about a decade ago

Shon | Romance Author :

My mom used to tell me that too much knowledge was a bad thing 😂 I went away to college and she called me, telling me to fast from the internet unless it was for homework 🙄 this was 2010 and little did she know I was already deconstructing

Father please forgive them 🙏

simplyfran :

Please dig and pray as you do that. God gives you the clarity you need. Sometimes in the past , I started digging still dig, but each time I encounter something confusing before evening, the answer comes.

🔥🏝️RealityDad 🏡 🚫 :

I knew I was an atheist at a single digit age. Just repressed it. Went to church until I was 30.

Dirty Randy :

I heard the story of Job as a kid and immediately was disillusioned

sophiiric.kingdom :

I used to get in so much trouble for asking questions

Joshua Ishimwe :

“Don’t want to get too deep in it”

Cassie :

my mum was a Sunday school teacher. I went to a church school (only type in the area). I asked mum to read the bible with me, the more she read it, the more she tried to explain it to me or I tried to put it into words I understood, the more her eyebrows would raise. by the time I finished primary school (age 11) and no longer had to go to church, neither did she. she's now an atheist. I'm so proud of her 🥰
