Paper Summary:

In this paper, the author describes his religious upbringing and how and why, as he grew older, his attitude toward God changed.

From the Paper:

"You see, the word "religion" appears to be an absolute-evil term throughout the world today. When first hearing the word, one immediately relates the term to war, laws, and regulations. You suddenly think of rules you are forced to follow. Don't steal. Don't murder. Don't curse. Don't hate. Be kind. Be humble. Be generous. Be loving. People who follow a religion are turned into "goodie-goodies" instead of respected individuals. Now, "churched" people are looked down upon. They don't look or act normally. They don't have fun and they are out to get anyone who is a "non-believer." They are seen as pushy, closed-minded, stereotypical, and full of pride. Why, I wonder, would any person in their right mind, want to convert and be titled "religious.""
