75. I was practically raised in church

Jun 2015

so even though I no longer am a believer for 53 years now I still live my life as if I believed every word of the Bible or rather the ten commandments. A lot more can be said for me than most of the so called Christians in my community.

As a side note. I have been screwed over many more times by people who claimed to be Christian than other non believers like me, hundreds of times actually. And that is a Fact
