Both my parents are die hard catholics. Father was an abusive drunkard until he received 3 alnost fatal accidents, then he chilled out. We don't talk at all any more. A little talk with mother here and then but that it.
My brother doesn't speak to me either for some unknown reason.
Growing up I was forced with violence to attend church every sunday. And being how the catholics have many special holidays and events, we attended those too.
It didn't take me long to realize that añl the stories they told me about jesus or moses and the separation of water with a staff was just either fiction or there were alien intervention. Now I see it's a mix of the two and nothing is real. These, I take not literally what is written in the bible.
Funny, We are taught to read from left to right, but when it came to the bible, I was very often told I was reading it wrong. I had to start here, the gi here, then here then over to this page, then back over here and so on. It was obvious to me they wanted me to learn only in a very specific way. So then, why not order the book in the way they want me and everyone else to read it in the first place? If its so important to read from there to here to there to over there to here and blah blah blah, why not in that order from the start? Never got a straight answer from that.
I was into greek Mythology because i liked to look at the cosmos and star gaze in the night at the constellations. The greeks had a more famous attachment with their gods associated with the constellations. And being how I read the bible a more than few tines front to back, i immediately saw many similarities. Then one day I stumbled upon this solar mythology and was hooked. Many things started to click. Made me angry too. That I had to put up with so much lies for nothing. But now I laugh at how idiotic it all is.
So I started looking for other religions. To see if they had the same problem. My god how astoundingly it was to find it was the same stories told in a slight different manner and all othese fighting over which was the right correct religion. Literally hundreds and hundreds of religions and thousands and thousands of gods with the same bsckstory even much older than "jesus".
And none could prove it to exist. But we must have faith in it. Lol yea right.
