I saw a topic similar to this, but I couldn't reply. Only users granted special access, whatever that is, were allowed to. And so I decided to make my own.

All 12 years of my life, I have been wondering about God. What does he look like? Does he really exist?
When I was in grades 1-3, I was constantly confused by what I heard about religion. How could all these gods exist, and be there only for their own cultures/worshipers? And why weren't they doing anything about the condition of the world; millions dying from diseases, millions dying in wars...
Alas, I was young and gullible. I decided in grade 2 that I would believe in the Christian version of God, much to the pleasure of my grandparents. And yet, I thought little of Church and went only at Easter.
Now, in Grade 7, I have different views. At the age of 9 I gave up my Christian religion and forgot about God for a while...until now anyways.
I am more fascinated by the Ancient Greek, Norse and Egyptian Gods. Not only were there more of them, but I found them much more interesting. I pursued a belief in Norse Mythology but stopped when I found no one else who shared my new found religion.
I spend long nights under the stars at my friend Claire's, pondering God;
Why is God a male?
Why has no one ever seen him (in the flesh) in the last century or so?
Why has he not helped the world?
Is he just something people made up so that they could put their faith in something when times were rough?
For some of these questions, I have found answers within myself. In my opinion, God does not exist.
It may have appeared that he did to the early civilizations, and he was a male because then women had little no one important roles in society save delivering babies. Men were more important and vastly more respected.
I am now doing some soul searching; what should my religion be? Should I even have one?

Give me your opinions on God! I am very interested in religion and would love to hear from you!
