from catholic to antitheist in 30 years

[LastPoet]

---

hey, everyone

i'm here because i'm seeking smart and intellectually challenging conversation and arguments.

i don't capitalize unless i have to because i'm lazy and that's just my boarding style.

i'm 31 yrs old. i've been an atheist for the last year and half and an antitheist for the last 6 months.

i was born into a catholic family who kept wandering through religion trying to find its home. eventually that led me to atheism and led my parents to evangelism! crazy for crazier.

i attribute my liberation from religious oppression to my dear husband and Penn Jillette, seriously. then they opened me up to all kinds of wonderful freedoms and thoughts that i never would have had otherwise.

they also made me a libertarian, but don't hate me for that.

anyway, here i am. i hope to contribute something, but mostly i hope to learn from you and the community and continue to expand my mind!

From Portugal, Ex-cathoholic here too, enjoy the forums.

As to starting up as catholic, I disagree. You probably, as me, have been born atheist, but fed with bullshit when you were a child. Takes time to get used to, as one is forced by reality to weed out the bullshit.

As to libertarian, BOOOOOOOOO!
