I was born into the baptist church, went to a christian day care center and transferred to the methodist church after they wouldn't re-marry my mother due a divorce from an abusive alcoholic (good riddance - I HATED the baptist fire and brimstone crap every Sunday). Then, when I was about 12, I heard the story of Cain and Abel again, and couldn't reconcile that a loving "god" would pick from what was offered as the "best offering" of each brother, violence and bloodshed - why didn't he just accept the "best" from each? It didn't sit right with me. It was right then that I broke away from the christian indoctrination I had endured my whole childhood. I was never comfortable w the christian religion after that.. too much hypocrisy, but I gave it a chance.
