Tell us more.  We don't get many ex-muslims.

Well... Where do I start? I am originally from Iraq I was born 2 days after the first gulf war started (lasted 8 years)...So there goes my childhood. At 11 we had the second gulf war and the embargo (lasted 13 years) so there goes my teenager years and early adulthood...At that point I started questioning why would any god be this cruel for no reason? at 20 I had enough, but I could not come out for obvious reasons. At 23 we have the last war which ended The dictatorship. Right after that violence erupted and I had to leave the country. in 2008 I got a chance to come to the US. I took it and here I am. 

I hope I do not depress you guys with this story, but this is what happen in summary. Putting science aside, I could not see how a god can exist and do or allow such horrible things to happen. Even if he/she existed and did not care, he/she would be one huge asshole. That is why I am an atheist.

Thanks. Glad you're out and here! Need to extend an apology for the US part in that fucked up time. It was not necessary.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
