I started out as an atheist, was quickly indoctrinated into Catholicism. Didn't go to church much. I started shifting towards Deist, then eventually became an agnostic as I began to research various religions and scientific topics and my religious classmates at the time made fools of themselves whenever the topic popped up. I just kind of drifted to atheist from agnostic, as agnosticism seemed too much like dodging the question. Atheism seemed more honest, I suppose.
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
