: Most people on this BB, however, seem to have been taught a deception, believed it, and then assumed that all religion is false because of their experience with a false religion.

As I told you before it was because of the nonsense in the Bible that I left Mormonism--not the other way around.

: The result is usually either sinicism or apathy.

You have confused the word cynicism with the word skepticism. There is a huge difference. Believe it or not blue, both you and I are skeptics--whether you want to believe yourself as such or not. Check out the link below:
