Since I was brought up as a Jehovah's Witness, and then left, I was raised to believe that anyone outside the religion was wrong. Either they were: a) part of "false religion"; b) evil satan-worshipping atheist heathens who were likely sad, covered in tattoos, and addicted to drugs. Or, c) too stupid to think about the possible existence of a god or to publicly express their thoughts on the subject.

It took a couple of months for me to reach my conclusions. Essentially, I don't believe in a god. Mainly because I was raised believing in Jehovah god - a being who supports people shunning friends and family. A god who is supposedly loving and forgiving but floods the earth and is soon to bring sudden destruction to the earth at Armageddon. A god who hates those who are anything but heterosexual; those belonging to the LGBTQ+ community are classed as equals to murderers and pedophiles. A god who condones incestuous relationships (Lot and his daughters) and is apparently okay with the concealment of thousands of child sexual abuse cases.

If this is god, I don't want to know him.

However, if there is meant to be an all-knowing , wonderful, halo-wearing-light-shining-out-his-ass, almighty good god, then... Where is he? He is infinite years old and must have the control and power to intercede and communicate with people so where is he?

I have a theory regarding time travel that we haven't and never will discover it in the way it is in programmes and films like Doctor Who. If time travel was discovered in the future, that would become a fixed point in time. However, you would be able to go into the past and into the future. And no one has ever seen a time traveller appear from that fixed point in time in the future, because by now it would be common knowledge that time travel is a thing and can be done.

Likewise, where is god? If he was here, we'd know about it. And if he's laying dormant, staying out of the way and not helping humans and the planet then I don't want to know either. That's not loving or caring. Therefore, I don't believe there is a god and that doesn't make me an unhappy, drug-addicted heathen. It just makes me me. That's my outlook, and it's my opinion for me to decide. I may be right or wrong but life is too short for it to bother me or to waste anymore time debating it.

The first 20+ years of my life were spent wasting away in a high-control religion. On average, we get 80ish years to live on this earth, so ¼ of my life has gone by already and I don't intend on wasting anymore of it.

Nevermind The Cult,
