Eduard, 25, Bucharest

I started having doubts when I was relatively young, but never really questioned the "god issue" until high-school. In college I documented myself about this, read quite a bit and before I knew it I was a full-blown atheist. I have to specify I was raised in the christian-orthodox religion (really close minded people here) and most of my relatives and friends still believe. It's frustrating at times, but I can't just renegade all the people I know and care about because they believe. When I first started disbelieving I was praying for some god to exist so that I can blame it for all the wrong doings that were done in it's name. That never happened because no god exists. Or, if it does, then it's really malevolent. Case dismissed. Now I don't know if I can ever believe, no matter what will happen to me. I already lost all my grandparents and my puppy was poisoned by some crazy neighbor. So there's nothing that can make me change my mind unless god really exists and decides to pay me a visit which I'll record and post on Youtube :)

I'm an economist, graduated from an economic University in 2006 and followed a Masters in Geopolitics afterward, which I graduated last year. I'm mostly interested in sci-fi and rock music. But I also read lots about science and philosophy.
