Critical thinking, failed prophecy, listening to folks like fucking Ray Comfort talk to people like Dan Dennett, the bible, logic.

12½ years of Catholic schooling.
A creationist religion teacher (Catholic priest) who was so irrational, he actually made atheism sound good.
10 years of comparative religious study.
I read the entire Bible (6 versions).
The failure of prayer.
Science and reason.
An article in THE AMERICAN ATHEIST titled The Agnostic's Dilemma. Read
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)

I thought it was most logical at age 12, and I was in a family of atheist father and agnostic theist mother.

At work.

*It is with boiling Pasta I set my meal in motion.*
It is by the sauce of bolognese that the repast acquires savor.
The lips acquire stains.
The stains become a warning.
*It is by pasta and sauced meat trappings I place my meal for eating.... *
