Never, in my life, have I smoked a single cigarette.
Never, in my adult life, have I believed in anything that didn't meet the criteria of science.

Raised in an environment where I was taken to church until age 12 and then treated like an adult ... allowed to make up my own mind. And I had one.

Since then I have taken comparative religion classes at university, read a lot of theology and philosophy. And I still come back to the same thing. I reject cocaine and heroin in my life because they are addictive and just make you feel good for a short time. Pretty much the same reason I reject all religions. The difference being only that one I can more easily discard. There are fewer drug pushers than theology pushers. But they are all equally evil. All trying to make money by subverting intelligence and common sense.
