The transition between faith to no faith.

[Anomalocaris]

A lot of you at one point had faith. At one point it felt like you knew God. When that feeling started to go away how were you? Were you caught up with thoughts about God a lot? When it away, how do you know it was baseless?

I never had faith in God. I may or may not have felt he existed, I don't remember. One could never say I would have remembered if I felt he existed because I would never have deemed any feeling of his existence to of any important whatsoever. I always knew since the earliest times when I can remember thinking about these things that feeling something to exist doesn't mean jackshit because there is no credible mechanism that connects feels to reality. I would only rely on methods in which result bears demonstrate connection to reality, and absolutely nothing even vaguely suggests God to exist. For every reason people proposed God exists, I either detect hand waving over wish thinking, or the same reason could just as well function without God.
