Ok, I got a good one for you'all
I was raised Mormon, and my wife Lutheren. I even served a mission for 2 years. Yeah I was one of those guys that knocks on your door, well, at least if you lived in Central America I was.
I think the thing that turned us away from Mormonism, and Christian"ism" in general was the way that I saw "christian people" treating other people, specifically non Christians. At worst people have been killed, beaten up, scooffed and ridiculed for personal beliefs in god, sexuality, and life in general. Then there are the Christians that want to "help" all the poor lost souls, becasue it makes them "feel" good. They do this by basically raising themselves up on a pedistal and looking down at all of the non believers.
Since leaving religion in general, my wife and I have become so close, we wonder how we even functioned before hand. We are more open and more comfortable with eachother, something that I see lacking in deeply religious couples.
Do I believe in god? people as me?
I just say, which God do you refere to? Mormon God, Catholic God, Baptist God, Jewish God, because truely, the way that the different religions look at God is so different that He or She certainly cannot be the same person.
I have studied a lot of art history (I had to, I'm a Photography major) and it is funny to see the relationship between the foundation of all the religions today, and how far apart they have all migrated.
Am I bitter? I guess a little bit, as I didn't have a choice when I was younger as to what I wanted to believe, I was force fed. I am glad that I got to go to Central America, that was a good learning experience, and now I am fluent in Spanish, but I am not too proud of some of the things I was forced to do there.
