New Guy on the Block

In all honesty, it was a tad  emotionally uncomfortable losing my faith. After all, it had been a significant part of my life since before memory. But, the story in the bible sounded like a Tolkeinesque tale, only not nearly as engrossing. Or believable.

there is a difference between not believing in God and not believing in religion . religion did not create God it only created a bunch of disconnected stories passed and changed throughout the generations to please whatever government or church or culture wanted it to be . I do hope you find God someday but im so happy you escaped your religion as many do .

Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today   FSM Grin   Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one  - John Lennon

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also  - Mark Twain
