religious fundamentalism in the christian and catholic churches is something i've been drawn to since i was young. i've remained agnostic since the age of 9, but have never let go of the religion i once followed (catholicism). this is not a safe space for religious folks!!!!

i don't agree with the "if God is all good, why does cancer exist??" question because i find it slightly juvenile. it's basically "if inventor good, why product bad??" question; it's entirely valid, but there are many more interesting points to bring up other than God's true mercy and perfection. if anything, that question only disproves the existence of an all-good God, not a God in general. it's almost like religion is political before all else, not Holy...
sometimes i wish i was able to consistently believe in God, whether the christian God or some other deity. it's because of both simple questions, like the one proposed above, and the more complex questions i can't seem to shake. i grew up catholic, and still have fear stating i don't believe God is real, but i recognize the impossibility of the God my region taught me about is The One. i don't understand Christian arguments pointing back to the Bible; it's a religious fairytale to most atheists, and impossible to reason with us when using it as a tool of proof. honestly, it makes it less possible for me to become a genuine believer!!
