I was 8 and in fact I talk about it here.

It happened over a period of time. I was in my 30's when the blinders completely fell off and I walked away from Christianity and then I look back on myself and am ashamed because I was a bigot.

Not really. It was years ago, and it wasn't a moment as much as it was a gradual awakening. I read multiple versions of The Bible multiple times, and as I did so I eventually came to realize that "The Word of God" was more accurately described as one of the world's most popular works of fiction. That caused the remaining dominos to fall and atheism was the result.

How did I feel? When I came to the realization that I am, indeed, an atheist I felt liberated, but uncomfortable at the same time. The discomfort, which passed after a while, was due to my family's highly religious nature. To this day, family get togethers can be awkward. My parents are no longer alive, but my youngest sister is "born again," my older sister's husband and one of their daughters are ordained ministers, my eldest sister is deeply immersed in her faith and her church, and I have a son-in-law who is an ordained minister. As far as I know, I am the only atheist in my extended family, which makes me a bit of an outcast -- the "black sheep" if you will.

What is most telling is that I am also typically the first one to help out another family member in need, if I am able. I'm sorry, but saying, "I'm praying for you," to someone who is hungry doesn't fill that person's belly. Only food does that. To me, a promise to pray for someone is an insult -- like saying, "I'm not going to help you, but I'll ask my imaginary friend to help."

I always sensed that it was mythical nonsense, even as a child. My mother was fully immersed in this following and ingrained into the brethren church.I hated being forced to attend church services and I still remember it was the most boring hour of my lifetime. Logics was completely lost on her. I recall as a child asking her why she didn't put on some lipstick to look a little bit better, she replied " If god had meant me to have red lips he would have given me red lips " I replied, but mum, you get your hair curled, if god had meant you to have curly hair he would have given you curly hair. Her reply ? Don't be so rediculous ! Religeon and logical thinking go together like oil and water.

I always thought it was bullshit

Lol, nope, no recollection of that.

The first time I decided to read it,
I was 8, dyslexic and it wasn't easy.
I had heard all this stuff about the bible, God wrote it remember.

Not the exact moment. It just began dawning on me that it was so unbelievable. I still am amazed people buy into it. I don't think that they really think.
