Reply #24: Well, I was raised Southern Baptist

but now I'm an atheist. When I was a kid I was very very religious. What made it all fall apart was when I was in 4th grade and still praying to God for forgiveness every time I even *thought* a curse word. I don't remember how it came up but I asked my friends at lunch why you couldn't say "those" words- and the answer was "It's in the Bible". So I looked for where the exact words are in the Bible, because it was all I knew. That pretty much led to more and more questions, and now I'm marrying a Jew who has fallen as far away from his original religion as I have.
