I'll Tell You Why I Don't Believe In God
A Conversation With a Friend
December 2016
"I'll tell you why I don't believe in God. Because I was abused as a kid. What kind of god would let kids be abused. My father abused me all the time and my mother did nothing about it. I just tried to survive as a kid. No one helped me out. We were poor. We had an outhouse. We didn't have much heat. We had a coal stove and when we ran out of coal, we just didn't have heat. We never had vacations. My mom was the primary breadwinner. We were really poor. When I took a bath, I could only have a little bit of water in the tub. And I used to dream of having a full tub of water when I grew up. I was raised as a Pentecostal Christian but I don't believe in anything now. No god would let a kid be abused like me".
