Finished it, and well I guess I became agnostic, only eventually I realised I wasn’t too sure about that either, so now an atheist. When you are raised in, indoctrinated, it takes time to work it out of your system anyway.
Similar story to me. I was raised CoE, which was mainly through school - Everything was religion orientated.
I read the "Good Book" all the way through. It is a great book, very interesting to read. I think that many more people should read it all the way through instead of hearing the 'soundbites' that is spouted at certain times of the year.
I became an unbeliever - I think I already didn't believe and I just used the bible as an excuse to define it. I don't use the term Atheist as my understanding of the word (more than likely wrong as I haven't looked it up in a dictionary) is Anti-Theist and it is still referring to religion by the use of the word Theist.
I am not religious and I don't care what anyone else believes as that is up to them and not me. I do expect the same courtesy in return.
As for Gender Fluid... I don't really understand it. I understand the term and I can understand the reasons why someone may be unsure but deep down I do not understand it and I don't think anyone could possibly explain it either.
