where did you come from?
#16
RE: where did you come from?
Born an atheist.
Brainwashed as an adolescent to believe in the supernatural and the Christian god.
Age 16... gave my life to Jesus. Went off the deep end.
Became a Pentecostal Evangelist.
Eventually, began to question my intolerance, values and dogma.
Evolved to Methodism and became a lay minister in the Methodist Church.
I couldn't stop questioning.
Evolved to Deism and became without church.
Kept questioning.
Born again to atheism.
I decided my values would dictate my faith instead of my faith dictating my values.
Became apathetic to religion and was silent.
In the 90's I recognized my old religious-nut self in the "Moral Majority."
I got pissed and decided to start preaching again. This time critical thinking and reason.
I found Secular Humanism, a perfect match for my values.
I'm still questioning...
