16. The whole thing sounds rather ridiculous

I think I was about ten years old when I realized that christian theology made little sense. The base concepts were not altogether bad, "thou shall not kill, or steal, or cheat" etc But, the violations of my experience with the natural world made it impossible to believe. The trinity, talking burning bushes, resurrection, walking on the water etc etc.

You either believe the stories or you don't, it all comes down to faith in the supernatural versus acknowledgment and understanding of the natural world.
