What made you change your views?
#22
RE: What made you change your views?
For me, it's taken a few times to drop faith before coming back to the same conclusion about atheism. I'd say realizing finally that my beliefs have always been my own doing...my own imagination...my own wishful thinking...my own desire to be comforted by an outside force, etc is what has ultimately brought me back here. I don't think mentally, I ever left an atheist mindset, but emotionally, I felt paralyzed to give up my faith life. I hung onto it during my grandmother's illness and death, and that caused me to stay locked in it for longer than necessary. I don't regret any of this, even though it's been hard at times. I think that everyone is different, and how/why/when you come to your own conclusions about faith, or disbelief is a unique process for us all. The difference now is that I'm really feeling sorted out with all of this, emotionally.
