So, hi. Not sure how to start this thing out, but here I go. I was a catholic for about... well, most of my life. Or at least I claimed I was catholic. I was really some a zealot of sorts, refusing to believe we evolved from "monkeys". As I got older, I turned to evolution and started seeing more and more logically, settling on the idea that God used evolution as a tool of sorts. Eventually I realized that if Jesus is God, and God is incapable of sinning or temptation, then how did Jesus get tempted? After that, I became an atheist and began abandoning all the christian ideals.
So, hello.
Welcome to the loony bin. We have cookies.
Well, hello. I used to be Lutheran, so of course I thought Catholics were weird. Now I think Lutherans are weird too. Welcome to the forum.

Quite a trip! And I imagine at times, difficult. My wife is a recovering Catholic. She was raised in it, reached your conclusions, and has been recovering ever sense. :) Welcome.
Welcome :)
Hi & welcome. Logic has its way to fly straight against Christianity.
we don't believe that evolution is reality.
we just know it.
I am in the priesthood of all believers, no matter what you believe in. My ex was a former nun.
Bless you, my son. Unless of course you are a daughter ... in which case blessings are superfluous.
Welcome to the forums. Enjoy your stay
Welcome! I used to do shots of Yukon Jack Whiskey with a lemon chaser. Takes away all the objectionable flavor of the whiskey.
