I do not understand religion. I was raised Atheist, but as soon as I started school I soon found out about the world of religion. I never thought anything of it when I was younger, but as I grow and I see how people lives are run by this "greater being," and I don't understand it. I have some questions; If God knows everything that will happen during my life, why doesn't he do something to prevent the horrible things that I will experience? Where is the evidence that God even exists? Why should I let something, that I have no idea is real or not, run my life? Why should I put them before myself? Why do you have to ask for forgiveness, if you knew it was wrong, why did you do it? Why only talk about the good things that occur in the bible? Why do we never hear about about the sexism and racism? Why is rape not a punishable crime, according to the bible. Why does the bible encourage slavery? I thought God loved everyone equally. If he loved everyone equally, why does "God hate gays?" Why did he create evil? How is there even more than one God? These are just a few of the questions I have. Some people have tried to give me answers but I still remain very confused.
