I was brought into this world within the Catholic Church, as were millions of Germans.
orthodox christian now agnosticI was raised an protestant. Lutheran for my young years and eventually pentecostalism later.
I believed Jesus was a holy man (God) and that he resurrected.
A merciful god along with fun stories (the typical bible ones) was good for my wellbeing. It gave me a sense that God is merciful and forgiving, and that my deeds would surely lead me to hell or heaven.
I used to go to the church as well; I doubted the holiness of say, Jesus but do not doubt that the stories were true if not somewhat overblownn (Moses split the sea). It gave me a sense of community.
What brought me out was the fact that Christianity itself, concerned with a small area (middle east) of culture and people. Moreover, if you actually read the bible you'd see some of the stories are conflicting of what you've been told in the cartoon films made for kids.
Nowadays I'm agonistic but I do not deny the validity of religions, but acknowledge that religions are frequently used as a tool of selective interpretation and control.

Man, it seems to me that people fall for the false promises of religion in crises, when they have lost someone, when they are at a personal low in their lives or with little self control.At first, none. However, my mother did instill belief in God (Judaism) early on in my life, but she did not follow any of the principles of Judaism at the time.
Eventually her religious conviction did strengthen, as she had a crisis following the passing of my grandfather, and that led to her imposing religious rules that I despised upon me—thus, leading to some of my antitheist attitudes at the time, as I never bought that nonsense.
I noticed that as well; many people often resort to coping with a higher power when they face major hardships, as they are seemingly incapable of facing reality as it is. This is definitely a characteristic of people who are weak, so I wouldn't disagree with you there, as I can personally attest that my mom is quite weak psychologically — simply judging from her behavior throughout my life. The real problem is that she has forced this belief upon me as well, particularly after raising me to a certain point in a completely different way. It's completely ridiculous to impose your will upon others without them truly believing in it in the first place.Man, it seems to me that people fall for the false promises of religion in crises, when they have lost someone, when they are at a personal low in their lives or with little self control.
It's as if weak people are drawn to it.
Not trying to insult your mother. I mean weak in the psychological sense, weakened morally or whatever you want to call it.
Ancestral religions are copeNigga why not follow the Taoism/Confucianism or Chinese ancestral religion

Religion is basically a coping mechanism for losers. You can tell who’s mentally weak by how desperate they are to feel that their life “means something” through some imaginary higher power, though I am not completely opposed to it, and it's probably a net positive for society — the only problem is that in today's age and often in the past, it was simply used to make people subservient, and lead them to believe in divine justice that will right all the injustices and unfairness that occurred in the world. This also makes people prone to inaction, as they simply go to sleep at night believing that all the people who commit wrongdoings will eventually be punished by God.
