Re: A question for Christians AND atheists
[ QUOTE ]
I'd be interested in why you found it so easy, or did you? You only noted that you never believed in god but was there a time it ever seemed 'conceivable' to you?

Honestly, no. I have to admit having a father who was a physicist and an atheist probably helped. It wasn't so much that he told me there was no god but rather he never told me there was one. Since I was always around science I saw the 'real' reasons for most things and never needed a supernatural reason. I do respect people that were raised theists and then became atheist on their own accord. It has not been 'easy' because where I grew up everyone believed in god.
That does bring me to my question I asked before - Do you really think that if there was no religion, no one to teach you there was a God that anyone born today would start believing in God? I am talking about now, after science has explained so many of the 'unexplained' phenomena of the past.
