A journey from Christianity to Atheism

My brother-in-law, a devout christian, wanted to become a missionary and attended divinity college to get a doctorate. (Yes, he already has two proper degrees).

Late one night, over a bottle of Remy Martin, he confided in me (in the family, a known "doubter") that he had had to abandon the course. He found that the more he learned, the weaker became his faith. To maintain his faith, he had to stop learning.


Tired of life without Koko, Rudy?
