In my teenage years I revelled in my own genius and (convinced that I knew everything) declared myself to be an atheist ...

As I grew older and started to realize just how little I knew and could comprehend, I came to the conclusion that it was possible for a being to exist that was powerful beyond our understanding with motivations we couldn’t fully appreciate. At this point in time I became far more open to a vast array of possibilities, and the best way to describe my personal belief is that I am agnostic.

 

Thank you very much for your post. I think it was th ebest in the thread, and it made me understand why 90% of people who posted in this thread are aetheists.

 

I've met a lot more people who start off religious and become atheists as they grow older than vice versa to be honest.

They usually become agnostic. They just don't care either way.

 

Truth. Usually when a child dies, or any other horrible tragedy they learn just how much being "good" did for them. Some just stop giving a fuck some just outright denounce their previous diety.
