So I can understand how experiences in your life can cause you to question, or even firmly decide that god cannot be real. (I've found faith to be a very fragile thing)

I'm kind of there now. Over the past couple of decades I have found that some of the people I meet who say they are 'Christian' are nothing like I believe Jesus was or will be at His return. Many are some of the meanest folks I've ever met... and some of the very, very worst are 'preachers of the gospel'... The god they present is sneaky, mean, hateful, petty, and vindictive. He certainly is not loving or accepting and I wouldn't even want to know someone with those attributes let alone worship them.
I've just gotta tell you... I am about done with THAT god. So if he is the real and true and one and ony god... Well... I'm about to be serving some other God... Because even with the threat of eternal, burning, tortured hell in the future I can not love a God like that... I just can't.
