Reply #24: Uh, I could Choose to pretend to believe in Jesus, I guess. [View All]

But fortunately, I never had to pretend anything. My family accepts that religious beliefs (among many other things) are meant to be questioned. My parents had a brief interest in attending Christian church, until they decided they didn't buy it, either. Not really. And I was happy that I never had to go back to Sunday School. I just remember thinking to myself "How much longer do I have to sit here listning about Jesus? This is dumb. Jesus talk is boring. I don't buy this Jesus idea". I truly DID consider it. I think I tried to accept Jesus but deep down I never really believed. I didn't deny Jesus as a savior just to be rebellious, or a brat. I was a good kid, always wanting to please people.
I just didn't believe in Jesus!
