Among the final shoves to get me out of Christianity once and for all was when I agreed to attend an evangelical service with a friend in college and spent two hours wondering how much longer before I could get the fuck away from the crazies yammering nonsense words and claiming it was "speaking in tongues" or flailing about or fainting or whatever.
I left there thinking not 'god is great' but 'holy fuck these people are insane'.
I mean, Christianity was already insane. "Really? You'd listen to a voice in your head that tells you to kill your own son, because 'God commanded it?' Uh... OK". Boggles the mind that Christianity is considered a "good" religion.
Not to quibble, but there were no Christians involved in that case of brain-dead child abuse.
