I've been an atheist for a while now. I was raised Methodist but never believed in god. I did Bible study every week for years. At the age of 12, I left the church after an awesome minister told me to leave and explore on my own. I practiced Buddhism until I was 21. At that time, I found that I had rejected so many key parts of Buddhism that I was not really a practitioner anymore.
I'm firm in my belief that there is no god or traditional idea of a "soul" but I am still exploring to see if spirituality (whatever that may mean) exists and to what degree. Maybe this community can help.
So yeah, hi.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
