Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Right, like:

seize, weird, vein, their, foreign, feisty

etc.

and after c:

ancient, species, science, sufficient

etc.

I have been a Atheist for a while... But I feel I should chime in on my experience. It was a very good feeling. Growing up in the Mormon Church though.. I am still trying to repair the damage of years of indoctrination they have done to my mind. Its amazing each day sense then its more weight off my shoulders. What helps is watching video's that disprove them (apostate material) it makes you really think about how Joesph Smith was a real sack of S---. Others here may relate. esp if you come from a very deep religious background.

The de-conversion itself didn't feel like much besides acknowledging the truth. Leaving the church, though. ... like the weight of the world was taken off my chest. I could live and sleep normally again. I started coping with reality. Huge relief.

Before i was atheist as a child well i always questioned it and was told to read the bible and after that i pretty figured it out after reading the bible so many times its not even real.
The thought of dying was the problem like whats going to happen and i thought it over and over till it didn't me anymore recently.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

I don't think my conversion to atheism has stopped, really. But I find myself more at peace since if a "god" exists it most likely doesn't think nor has feelings nor gives commands.

RE: A question for all you converted athiests!
On one hand, I first felt a void --- like I had lost a close imaginary friend ---- one that I didn't get along with, but still missed.

On the other hand, I used to be angry at God for allowing such ostracism to befall me for being trans, for causing me to be born trans in the first place --- for making me so disorganized. How could God allow this? But the anger is gone --- since I find not-existing to be a perfectly valid excuse for any failings on God's part. I mean seriously --- to be expected to do any better, God would have to actually exist.

I should not, though --- I haven't been atheist for very long. Though I assure you this was not an anger-based de-conversion. If it were, it would have happened years ago. The cause of de-conversion was that I had for a while been studying the refinement of logic --- and recently, something prompted me to direct my logical scrutiny at the reasons why I previously believed in God.

RE: A question for all you converted athiests!
Losing my religion was an amazing feeling. I finally felt like, "This is who I really am!" It was an awesome sensation and I am still very grateful to this day that I realized that part of myself so quickly in life. Some people go their whole lives never really questioning the things they blindly believe. We atheists just choose to not live in a fantasy world. And it's a great thing.
