I was raised Catholic..did confirmation and all that, but we didn't go to church all that often in the grand scheme of things. I got older and started being really honest with myself, and started reading a lot of books. I had a crisis of faith around 25(not that I'd ever been devout) and for a while I became an annoying atheist-on-a-soapbox, which was a bit of an over-correction. Now I'm agnostic. I found a poem I wrote in the midst of my soapbox days, if anyone is interested:

You say the beauty of creation is what tells you God is real I say your imagination gives the story it's appeal You say it's best to play it safe and side with the one true God I say that, for an omniscient being, this blind spot seems quite odd You say that I should just believe, there's no way that I can lose But if I'm believing "just in case," won't God see through my ruse? You say your God forgave my sins and thus was crucified I say your claims are unsupported, your beliefs unjustified You say I should take some time and read the bible on my shelf I ask you why your loving God must always hide himself You say you don't desire proof, because faith is whats required You say you won't deny your God, or the carpenter he sired You say the gospels prove your claims that God's son walked the Earth But only two of these four books even mention a virgin birth If you think our morals come from the bible, then take a closer look Just what would the bible have to say, to be an immoral book? If the bible said to go for a walk and murder your own son I'd have to say that if this were a game, that would be strike one If it's immoral to whore your daughters and condone brutality Then I say alas, not a page would pass, and you'd have strikes two and three The atrocities are many, about which God seems cavalier I say you should take another look, at the book you hold so dear You say you feel I've missed the point, it's not black and white, but gray The Old Testament was harsh, but that's when Jesus saved the day You say that we need not obey those old Mosaic laws I see how you try to justify but your logic has some flaws You say that Jesus fixed all that, and we need not conform But his words in Matthew, Chapter 5, they seem a bit less warm You say that you're convinced of the Bibles master plan But theres no more evidence for it's truth than there is for the Koran You look upon the Gods of old as just tall tales and stories But I must contend that in the end, that's Bible territory You believe you hold a truth that I just cannot see But there seems to be, among all of your creeds, an ambiguity My words might seem unfair if you're a Christian or a Jew but the Muslims and the Mormons, see, their books are bullshit too You maintain that God is good, if perhaps a bit elusive But being just and merciful are mutually exclusive So the soul enters the zygote at the moment of conception, Say the same few guys who say it's bad to play with your erection You'll take the claims of ignorant men, who really couldn't know And condemn life saving research just to save an embryo you never see the hypocrisy in the life that you portray But your treatment of those who don't believe is a telling expose Or maybe you fancy moderation, and it's not your place to judge You have your own interpretation, unwilling to budge You live the best you can, not by the strict rules of the text But if my unbelief sends me to hell, wouldn't that make you next?
