Beginner's Guide to Atheism.

[vulcanlogician]

Aw thanks Vulcan.      I came from Pentecostal Fundamentalism.  So . . . I have done a lot of reading and thinking about bible stories.  After that first conscious realization of "this is all ridiculous!" - I had to study.  I had to either confirm or tear down the house of cards. (It burned.) I have read a lot.  And I must confess, after living with the insular, xenophobic, uncaring, egotistical behaviors of "the blessed saved and sanctified", (and after they cast me out) I tend to snarl when I encounter these behaviors.

I'm still learning about logic and debate and science and philosophy.  So yes, I still call myself "new".

Whatever expertise you may lack in logic and debate, you more than make up for in your ability to call bullshit. 

I, for one, find myself falling into the game of apologetics when debating with Christians. The Christian puts up a wall, and I try my best to find a weakness in that wall. You just bust through that shit like the kool-aid man! 

It's refreshing to see someone call religion out for the ignorant shit that it really is. I've had plenty of experience with pentecostals. You see them with clear eyes. Further proficiency with logic and argument will only make you more deadly.
