Nope.

With all the struggling I do in my daily life much less the struggle my friends and family go through every day, and the struggling many other people who have it much worse off than me have every day, there is no way there is a "higher power". My dad gives 10% of his paychecks to his church when he absolutely cannot afford it. My grandmother also does the same who can't afford it. The church and all religion is a waste of time and despicable.

Don't get me started on people who use religion as an excuse for how people "should and should not act", mfer do you have a brain? Do you have MORALS? ETHICAL TRAINS OF THOUGHT? It's like if these people didn't have a religion they wouldn't fucking know right from wrong or something. And the people who say "Oh praise gawd lawdy jebus" when something that I PUT IN THE WORK FOR happens to me, it pisses me the fuck off, BECAUSE I PUT IN THE WORK AND NO ONE ELSE! NO ONE BUT ME!

I had so many Sundays I could have spent playing video games, shoved down my throat, going to "Sunday school" i.e. babysitting services where I had to help the adults with small children and/or normal church. I fucking hate church.

I remember one night my grandma and dad sitting in the living room and asking me, when I was 12, why I don't like going to church and (due to having undiagnosed autism/adhd so I literally had 0 therapy to interpret my feelings about religion) I just said "because church is ass!" and got spanked the fuck out of.

Needless to say after that though I didn't have to go to church after that and spent all my free time playing Guild Wars with my friends outside of school, finally.

My dad tries to convert me to "believing in jesus christ" at least once a week now. I'm fucking 30. Stop. I have literally said as much and he just doesn't "understand why I don't believe". I believe Jesus was a person, but the bible and everything else around jesus/god is fucking fake as all fuck and too many people use religion as an excuse for good/bad things happening to them.

Religion has done nothing good for anybody during its existence. Many many people have died due to religion. It's not a force for good, it's a force that people use to nose into other people's fucking lives and not just leave people the fuck alone. The amount of people that "need something to believe in to live" is too damn high and those people also are typically skewed on morals and see taking advantage of people as "ok". I've lived with 0 religion, 0 believing in anything my entire life, and I am an "okay, well-adjusted to society" person. I work, I help people who need help if I can help them, I help my family when I can. This requires ZERO religion beliefs. It's just being human.

The church (ANY CHURCH) is a bunch of manipulative liars.

Until I literally see miracles performed in front of me that can't be explained by science, that shit can fuck off. And that will never happen and we will all be just worm food. Guarantee it.

Lawdy this post triggered the fuck out of me lol. My experience with religion is that religion SUCKS.
