Very true. Even now I almost WISH I could believe, just so I could have a better relationship with my family and my parents would be proud of me. But at this point I'm all out of faith and would need some hard evidence, which I'm convinced doesn't exist. So it is what it is I guess.

It's so hard to drop a religion you were raised with. For years after I would still catch myself feeling guilty about something I shouldn't feel guilty about. Then get frustrated that I had that response.
Once you break the rules and actually question the belief, it gets hard to not see the contradictions.
