I was raised in a really religious household. I strongly believed in God when I was little... but as I got older and learned about him by reading the bible he bothered me. God isn't very nice, especially in the old testament. Sending she-bears to kill dozens of children for teasing a bald dude. Decimating populations of innocent men, women and children just because God promised their land to some dude many years ago. My parents' religion also teaches that one day in the near future, God is going to smite each and every person that has had a chance to join our religion but hasn't... basically billions of people.
It seems to me that the Abrahamic God was created by a bunch of racist, sexist old men trying to control masses of people through fear. For me, an all-just, all-powerful, all-loving god doesn't fit with whats in the bible.
Jesus was pretty cool though. The new testament is much more mellow. Except for all those books fixated on circumcision.
I'm an agnostic. I doubt there is a god or gods and there's no way to prove their existence.
Maybe there is some type of intelligent energy out there. When I sit and think about it I like to imagine there are two of them, one "positive" and the other "negative" but both essential and balancing each other.
