I've always wondered the same thing about the religious perspective. Where did God come from? Why is it any more believable that a God came from nowhere and then created earth (in seven days)? How do believers explain the many different creation stories from other religious cultures?

I came from a very religious family and went to Catholic school, attended bible study and prayer meetings, and even taught Sunday school for a few years. Around the age of 13, I began to question the beliefs I had been indoctrinated with. I decided I didn't believe in god, but I felt ashamed & guilty about it. I kept my thoughts a secret, since there was really no one I could talk to about such things. Then I went to college and one of my favorite professors mentioned that he was atheist. He said it with such ease and confidence that it blew my mind. I'm sure he had no idea how significant and needed his words were to me. It literally released me of my guilt and allowed me to finally feel okay for not believing in something that makes no logical sense to me. I have never since questioned or felt ashamed of my personal beliefs.

Ah, your story is similar to mine ... but different. Raised Catholic. At age 13, a grandmother came to stay with us a while. A Baptist, she shared my room. She left her Bible lying out. I sneaked a peek; we had no Bibles in the house. I soon realized that this book taught things different from what the church taught. I asked the school priest about it and he basically told me not to worry my pretty little head about it, the church would do my thinking for me. Well then, I thought, why did I have a brain? At that point I began to lose confidence, not in God, but in the Pope and the church. So began my search for a church that taught the Bible.

I will say, I enjoy reading the old testament as a story book. We had a college class where we analysed it as a novel and we would go super in-depth of it literally and historically, never religiously. Loved it. Drew so many family trees
