Religion and faith - Your story

[memphis]

My family is nominally Jewish. Like most Jewish people, we're not really observant though my mother still attends services regularly. I always found synagogue painfully boring and I really hated having to go to Jewish school in the afternoon after regular school. While the cultural aspect of being Jewish is interesting to me, religion has never made any sense, and I remember, even as a child, thinking Bible stories were absurd. I've always thought that religious people were not good critical thinkers.
