I thought it would be a good idea to have a place to interact with like-minded people from time to time. This is my first time posting here. I'm sure someone will let me know if I'm not introducing myself right.
I was a Christian believer for many years. It's harder to say how long I've been an atheist..... I guess I consciously acknowledged that fact only a few months ago. But, the process that led me to non-belief was a gradual chipping away that actually took many years. I quit attending church over a decade ago, because I refuse to align myself with assholes. I stopped praying soon after, because I felt like lunatic whenever i did. Through all of this, I still identified as a Christian. Deep down, though knew that my religious belief and reality were on a collision course.
So I guess, I was just preparing myself.
Anyway, I'm sure i'm one of many. I think I'll check out some of their stories now! Goodnight.
Awesome! Looking forward to your posts. You are warmly welcomed.
I bet you'll turn out to be a great addition to the community.
Last but not least,
