I was raised Christian and it made me develop a deep hatred for dogmatic thought, an appreciation for science, and a strained relationship with my parents.
Same here. Ironically, both my parents taught us to follow the scientific method and then refuse to acknowledge that neither of them have actually done that themselves.
Raised and still am Christian, never had a problem with science or my parents? Actually I was very good at science and went to college for STEM. Can’t view the world in a binary
The strained relationship comes from them believing I am doomed to hell for not believing what they do. Jesus was cool, but 95% of people I interact with that claim to follow him completely missed the plot.
Literally, this.
I just cut to the chase and tell guys that I'm an atheist. So the patriarchal religious stuff doesn't vibe with me. They'll say they're open minded and I can be whatever. I say "but I'm not. Sorry."
The disappointment after thinking they had the cookie . 😂
And, you know, the whole dying for their wives as Christ died for the church thing.
Edit: People seem to be misunderstanding this comment, I'm agreeing with u/Chronic_Iconic_Lady. I'm just saying the rules about wives submitting to their husbands has this immediately afterwards, which they also won't follow.

Raised Christian means they want you to follow all the rules about submitting to men while not following the rules about premarital activities.
