I'm a PK, for those of y'all unfamiliar with that term, it means Preacher's Kid. I grew up hating church because I was forced to go, I hated the hypocrisy of the people in church and no one was ever able to answer any of my questions about the Bible.
I considered myself an atheist for years, not necessarily because I didn't believe there was a god but mainly because there was more scientific evidence that there isn't a god. But later in life, I realized that believing in something greater than myself kept me from becoming complacent with who I was. Many of the morals and lessons taught in the Bible can be used in everyday life to make ME a better person. So I don't feel the need to have to justify my faith to anyone. Why do I believe in God? BECAUSE I DO! Plain and simple and nothing fancy. It may sound irrational to some and illogical to others, but its a personal decision that will remain personal. It works for me and therefore I can careless about what other's think/believe.
