Well, I found your forum earlier today, and I decided I'd post some words of wisdom, and see how I get received.
I was raised by a Christian mother and a non-believing father.
I really believed in the bible, until I read it. I later found it to be full of many contradictions, circular reasoning, and just plain immoral teachings. You may wish of me examples, I will list a few;
(Andrew: God exists. God gives people's lives meaning.
Lucy: God does not exist. God is a contradiction and therefore cannot exist in reality.
Andrew: That is just your opinion, it is no less valid than mine.
Lucy: It is not opinion, it is fact, which is valid. Your opinion is invalid.
Andrew: How do you know you are right, and I'm not?
Lucy: Because I have a rational argument to prove I am correct.
Andrew: But how do you know rationality is correct?
Lucy: Because the rational validity of a set of arguments is how well they conform to reality.
Andrew: Whose reality? Yours maybe, but not mine.
Lucy:
1. Reality is objective.
2. Rationality is valid.
3. The rational validity and truth value of a statement is how well it conforms to objective reality.) Giant contradiction, I'll continue;
Omnipotence is an attribute which means unlimited in power - without limitations to action. This attribute is paradoxical and can be shown as impossible through the following argument: Question: Can an omnipotent entity, X, create a rock that X can not lift? If yes, then X is not omnipotent; if no, then X is not omnipotent.
Therefore X is not omnipotent
Therefore god is a contradiction, therefore god cannot exist in reality.
Teaching Creationism on an equal level as Evolution is similar to teaching our knowledge about pregnancy next to the tale of the stork.
Circular reasoning is on the list of logical fallacies.

I refuse to reply to anyone, unless they can rebut every one of these arguments against God (I know I won't get a response unless I spell and capitalize everything correctly, anything to avoid answering a question that you have no answer to, I guess)
