Ex Theists

[beenthere]

I almost envy those who were raised by atheist parents. I wouldn't have had to go through all those years of guilt of living "gray" in a "black and white world".

I would have to say that those years slowed my intellect down considerably. Those who were raised with the ability to think for themselves from the beginning would probably be more intellectually developed than someone who spent years conforming and blindly accetpting a god.

I know what I believe now, and am comfortable with it. However, I need to learn how to express it.
