How old were you when you found out that God didn't exist?

Question

I was six and also found out there was no Santa or Easter bunny as well.

I cried for about an hour on learning there was no Santa, but was so glad that the god I had feared so much was not real.

Answer 1

I asked this question to my mother when I was 4,  "Why are we here?"  I remember looking at her and she was so confused.  Hesitant to tell me about what everyone else believes.  She said, "This is a test.  God is giving you a test.  You can either be bad or good, and he wants you to be good."  I believed I looked at her in confusion, as she wasn't very sure herself.  

I never believed such a thing.  Especially after I was hurt one day (At the age of 4) and I said a wordy dird and this 30 some year old neighbor lady screamed at me saying "That's wrong!!, you need to ask god for forgiveness.  SAY IT NOW!  GOD FORGIVEME!!!  I was in tears from pain and said it any way... then I asked, where is god?  Then she walked away.  

DIDN'T EVEN ASK IF I WAS OK!

So that incident of the woman screaming at me is what lead me to think 90% of Christians are psychotic and/or delusional.

Answer 2

I don't believe in God but I believe there's something bigger out there.

In other words, Im agnostic *typo i knw*...

Answer 3

If you think God doesn't exist.....what else is there?

Answer 4

I was 16 when I *decided* that he does not exist.  No one knows the truth - you either believe or don't.  As for Father Christmas and the Easter Bunny, I was in my early teens, but decided it was safest to keep up the pretence, so I could get my eggs and stocking each year!

Answer 5

Well, actually i am not Christian, i am muslem, and i am so sorry that i read some thing like this that you do not believe to God, becuase i feel the God in every moment of my life, may be it is the diffrence of God between Christian believes and muslems, Forexample you Go to the church to talk about you re wroges and bad things that you have done, but in Islam , it is very bad and forbidden that explain your wrong works to every body else, when you say i have understand , there is not a God, at the same time Look AT youre self at the Mirror, Think deeply and answer to youre self, we came to this world just to dance and eat and do every thing that we want and Die?

Sure not, you must search about God , not just tell that i do not believe him, God does not need that you believe him or not, THIS IS YOU that NEED him in Bad problems, when you are sick and all of the Doctors tell that you will die and some thing as miracle must be happen to rescue you of this bad situation .

My father had Cancer and he was just 35 years old , he had Brain Cancer, and for 90% of Doctors was incredible he can live more than 3 mounths but  he is still Alive and there is no cancer now, i do not want to explain you what did happen but i want to tell you that happend just a Miracle and after 20 years he is still Alive, Do not be scared , If you do not belive to god , it is just becuse the God that you were belive in was not A REAL GOD< search about Truth ,. and after that decide about to tell and belive such a great and important thing.

Answer 8

Oh he is real, you just need to get passed whatever is holding you back from believing in him. He beleives in you, and wants you to follow the path that he wants all us to follow. The path that leads to him. To eternal happiness, with him, in Heaven. I will pray for you, my friend. God wont give up on you. I hope that you find your way!
