I was raised in the church- private school fool and all that , to protect me from the ways of my father, probably. I pretty much knew it was bullshit at 5 years old, but it would be another 7 years until I would convince myself 100% that it was all bullshit. I have been in recovery (from religion) 20+ years now. Yes, just like drug and alcohol addiction, when they get to you that early it is a lifelong recovery process.
I respect people's right to their beliefs, but if you believe in religion my respect for you stops with your right to believe and will never amount to anything greater than that.
There is no devil other than man, for it is man who is the great deceiver.
