Spiritual journey: copied from old discussion.
Do you have nagging doubts that God may exist?
I have forgotten if I answered yet. Things went this way:
1. at 16 doubt..pretty much a hard agnostic already
2. 16-32 not really a deep thinking age, and parents etc were into all these rituals that we just did out of habit.
3. at 40-55 lots of discussion on the net
nobody in real life wants to discuss.
Gave Jesus one last try somewhere in there for half a year. "He" was of some use in childhood, so it was nostalgia.
Read one Marcus Borg book.
4. at 53-55 decided all religion was dogma and designed to manipulate people
so, I have no fear of any of it anymore
Yes, it took some 30 years to jump over the edge
I am now a strict materialist. A kinder and gentler strict materialist.
