Regarding church/Christianity, it could be that my parents' being in charge of what churches we went to (and in a way, what friends I made) led to less-than-desirable results. It's just that even several internet friends have gone that way too... much too fishy for me to not be skeptical.
LOL I've semi-argued my evolution stance several times on the DA version of this... and I have found some possible hypocracies in my own beliefs in that regard, plus I know that a lot of the things I learned about evolution were tainted from a religious perspective. However, as I understand it, evolution is still theory, not proved-beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt fact. And when people get angry and blow steam when I say I don't believe in it... that just makes me all the more skeptical. (The DA version has some of that steam-blowing in the comment threads.)
