I had accepted that the religion was bullshit long before I accepted the no god thing. I'm glad your head isn't spinning. I just wanted to help you feel welcome. For some people (not all) it can be a bit daunting to admit that they were an ex _____. They wonder if they will be ridiculed for it - this hasn't happened here. Anyway, I'm glad you could make it here.
On another note what the hell is the "metric" you were referring to?
The metric post was in response to a question Rhythm asked. I forgot to quote his post so it does seem a little out of the blue.
I knew mormonism was wrong long before I knew there was no god, too. At first i thought mormons just had god wrong, but then quickly realized that the only evidence for god was the bible and that book is a disaster. None of it makes sense. After that realization I just stopped thinking about god. I started thinking more about life. Then I guess the god concept just dissolved as I never thought about it. But last week I was having a particularly rough week and my old knee-jerk reaction to plead to god for help crept up in my mind and i had the first real epiphany that I was just desperate and there was no one there. I guess it was quite shocking.
