I never really believed in any of it. My parents were ex-Catholics who came to my Church (Congrgationalist) because they had better kids programs. I stopped going to sunday school around the time the stuff really became "real." I was mroe concerned with getting my donut. Then with sports et al, Sunday was my only day off a week and It was good to sleep in.
When I was 10-13 I realized that everything good I learned in church was teaching me to be a good citizen and neighbor, ideas that are hardly limited to Christianity. Christianity was not essential to my life and when it actually tried to become real, I rejected it.
Apparently this isn't totally out of line. My younger brother and sister have done the same.

It dosent, but it points you to something that does...if you take the Bible as God's word of course.And honestly, if we're only to list to the voice of god, no one should be listening to anyone about faith since Jesus (no one)

I think I was about 14, maybe a year younger. My parents never went to church much but considered themselves as Christians. People would ask, "Do you go to church?" and they would shamefully shake their heads as if they had already been condemned to Hell. So when I was told to go to to church, I knew something was wrong from the jump.
It was the people who made me notice the flaws first though.
Too much, "He is all knowing and everything has a reason although I haven't the slightest clue what it is."
