I'm unsure of what to vote for here. Until recently (the last couple years or so) I've considered myself a Christian. I’ve began to rethink my belief system though, when I realized that my sole basis for following religion was fear. Not the “fear based in love” that the Bible says we should have, but actual fear of incurring wrath, not only from God (whose existence is also in question), but also from my family and friends. Basically, it’s fear based on blind submission. I came to the realization that I’m tired of being afraid all the time, of always feeling like I’m doing something wrong even when I’m doing nothing wrong. Sooo…I guess what I’m saying is that I’m unsure if God exists. And if he does, I’m unsure about how much I care. So what does that fall under?
