The arguments maybe too simplistic to some but I am thankful for this site launching me into decades of doubt and eventual apathy to atheism.
What was your initial journey to atheism?

What was your initial journey to atheism?
For me it was going to a Catholic high school. I was all well and good with the eucharist being a metaphor and what not. But then when I learned about transubstantiation, and that we were suppose to believe when the priest said the magic words those wafers and wine literally, and I mean literally, turned into the body and blood of Christ, I was out. I started questioning lots of stuff from there and eventually found myself moving toward deism, then agnostic, then finally straight up aetheist.
I kept getting scolded when I used to ask how many Jesus meat and blood do we need to consume to get into heaven. Your post reminds me why I chose to be quiet about my growing atheism as a teen.
I was never Catholic and assumed it was a metaphor as well until ex-catholics corrected me.
Wtf. It is so clearly a metaphor. Why is this hard?
