5. I simply could not buy into it as a kid

The whole tale of Noah's ark was just simply dumb along with the story of Adam and Eve. Kids to the left and right of me bought into it hook, line, and sinker.

It was really weird sitting in Church on a Sunday with people trying to convince me that what i learned in science class the previous week was wrong. I remember thinking that there was something i wasn't understanding as it seemed to make perfect sense to everyone around me.

Eventually my brother and i raised enough hell every Sunday morning that we stopped going. To be honest, it's not fair to stuff a kid in a suit early Sunday morning and then attempt to make him sit still and pay attention. Mom tried to make me go again in my teen years and i told her to forget it, which brought on endless, droning lectures of why i needed to attend church.

It was bullshit then, and it's bullshit now.

Proud to say i haven't attended a church service since 1978!
