Who's your daddy?

Good thread. I was raised in a Christian family. We went to church, but we weren't hard core church goers. We were strong believers though, and I can't say my fondest memories were in the church but honestly do miss the community, that togetherness. I didn't think for myself until I was around, I don't know, 25 - 28. But the age of 33 is when I realized I was an atheist, and what a relief. No more guilt. A new freedom, I was in heaven LOL. I'll never forget that moment when I did in-fact "realize" I didn't believe in God. I was in bible study of all places... to keep the story short; I kept telling myself "I really really don't believe in God anymore?, over-whelmed". For so long it was everything to me, it was huge. And then all of sudden I got really scared because I didn't know what I was going to do. My heaven came crashing down on me pretty quickly, for a while at least, maybe two months; and then one day like so many others I went searching. I don't remember what I was searching for but I found videos on YouTube. Atheist experience, and as you expect Matt Dillahunty. And a lot of other wonderful atheists too. Now I'm rushing to soak up that knowledge and develop critical thinking skills I was robbed of. I felt like a victim. Religion sucks. So now I talk with Christians online everyday trying to reason with them and it's fun. Oh yeah, I'm the only one in my family who is an atheist.
