Nope nothing traumatic and it wasn't one day I was Christian the next I wasn't. It was a transition over many years.

Christianity just isn't for me. If it works for you that's fantastic.

It's either true or it's not. Why don't you believe that it's true is the question?

What do you define "good moral code"?

new testament is a good reference for this imo

but when you hear stuff like "but following jesus example have no value if you don't have faith that jesus saved us on the cross..." (or whatever sounds like this); well then you derive from what i consider a good moral code

"It's ok to keep committing sin because we can pray away all the evil deeds we do." Is an important component of a social tool used for controlling people with. Without religion people would be far less willing to kill each other over land, resources, and our personal differences OR die for the same. YOLO.

The morality religion(s) offers us is good.
But the evil acts which it enables us to commit not so much. I look forward to a day when our spiritual understanding catches up with our scientific progress.

I believe that a person goes where they want when they die, and that the thoughts we carry in our mind and heart dictate where we want to go.

To be with the LORD our God, the creator of the Universe. Jesus says that he is PREPARING A PLACE FOR US IN HEAVEN! It is not like you show up one day out of the blue and they're not expecting you.

No, they're preparing a place for you and they will come and get you when it is ready. Why wouldn't you want to go to Heaven? You'll get to see everybody that has ever lived from every age.

What boring stuff are you talking about anyway? You have no idea what Heaven is like, imagine all the fun and perfectness where there will be no crying, no pain and no suffering ever.

Tell me, wouldn't you want to meet the one who created the Universe in all its glory?

You've never stared death in the face have you? If your heart is hard do you need to survive a horrific plane crash to change your outlook on life?

Do you need to stare down the barrel of a gun to realize how vulnerable you are and how serious this really is? What you do here on Earth will determine your hereafter. I do not know when I'm going to die but isn't it better to be prepared?

If you knew that a thief was going to rob your home at a certain time and date wouldn't you be there ready and waiting for him? As it turns out nobody knows the day or hour.

If you don't know the day or hour, why would you wait and risk eternity?
