I am an Atheist and always have been

My Grandmother used to make me go to church dressed in best clothes. I am almost certain the church was of the Protestant denomination, Church of England?
The only thing more boring I have experienced in my life was attending a piano recital at the Sydney Opera House whilst on a school trip in 1975. (I fell asleep during the performance)
What did I get out of going to church? Reinforcement that religion was super boring.
If I remember correctly..."for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

I guess I've been atheist since about age 14. I was raised in a Christian church by a christian family. By time I reached high school age that whole concept just didn't make sense to me..

While I don't believe in the god of the bible I concede that there could be some intelligence behind the creation of the universe. But it certainly was not some entity that wants to be adored and worshiped for eternity.

As King of the Britons, I presume you were divinely chosen.

King of the who?
