Oh, religion.
You make me cringe.

I'm really tired of what people (especially religious people) say/assume when they find out I don't go to church, or don't have a religion. "Oh, so you're a atheist?" No, I'm not.

My parents never went to church, so neither did I. As simple as that. I do not hate god. I just don't have a close relationship with him... and being able to step back and have a clear head when I look at people, instead of being biased because someone's Hindu and I am, say, Lutheran. When I step back and look at religion, I see how most people are so unlike the people they worship, as a example, Christians are nothing like Christ... they condemn everyone.

I had someone tell me once that because I didn't go to church, that I'd be damned to hell forever when I die. I don't fear that, don't believe in that. Somehow, I know that god has better things to do than walk around damning people to hell.

I mean, most religions boast peace, compassion, love, ect. but nobody ever practices that anymore... so does that make the person who told me that I was going to hell a hypocrite?

So what's the lesson? People who have never gone to church, ect. are not atheists. They are just neutral to god, and never got a chance to develop anything with him because of our lifestyles, or our parents' beliefs.
