Hello Everyone
May 31, 2015 at 12:42 am
Hi Everyone, just registered here and figured I would say hello.
I deconverted from Christianity about 2 months ago, after running into several youtube videos on all the issues and falsehoods with Christianity and religion in general. I began to think for myself and investigate what I hear.
I have been awoken from the darkness of irrationality.

Welcome Worom!
Good to hear you are thinking rationally. Keep discovering and learning more, the world is a fantastic place!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Welcome to AF.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

Welcome Worom. Congrats on the de-conversion! Watching Youtube was a part of my de-conversion (the bible was a big contributor). I spent many hours watching Hitchens and The Atheist Experience to comfort me to try to combat my daily dosage of the same mindless, controlling, catholic garbage.
