Yeah, the same thing happened to me.
Also, there was this one section of a paper written by Ray that was just so blunt and profound it changed my mind very quickly:
THE GOSPEL OF CHRISTENDOM
The "Gospel" means "Good News." Imagine taking your gospel to some
back village in China and telling them the following:
"Greetings brothers! We are here with truly good news. You have always
been taught that your family members are with your ancient ancestors.
Well that is true, however, they are not happy. No, they are actually
in great pain and suffering. They are, in fact, suffering by having
their flesh burned with fire. They suffer every second. They have no
rest, no peace, no hope, and no food or water. The pain is so great
that it would kill them, except that they are already dead. We realize
how being dead and alive at the same time is a little difficult to
explain. It requires a Doctor of Divinity degree to fully comprehend.
Anyway, the god that we represent and worship, is the very god who is
torturing your beloved family members and ancestors. This is the same
god that is going to torture most of the human race with fire. Our god
likes burning helpless women and little children with fire. Of course,
there is no purpose or redeeming value to it, it’s just great fun.
When we get to Heaven, we will be able to watch their suffering as
long as we want. I suspect it will be the number spectator sport this
side of Heaven. Now, watching little heathen babies not yet weaned off
their mother’s milk, popping like burned bacon strips in a white hot
skillet, might not seem like fun at first, but if god enjoys it, I
guess we can sear our consciences until we too enjoy it.
We are here to tell you about this god of Christendom. Our god loves
you, as long as you love him back before you die. You see, that’s the
down side of god. No one knows why, but if you should die before you
love him, his love for you turns to hatred. Therefore, it is paramount
that you should worship this god of Christendom or he will burn you
with fire for all eternity."
Or maybe you would save this portion of the Good News until you have
indoctrinated them a little further.
