Hi from Lutheran Minister's son - Atheist
November 5, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Hi

I am 45 and have been an Atheist since age 24.
My father was a Lutheran Minister in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
(Missouri Synod Lutheran Church)

Having fun unwinding all that religion stuff and learning
to trust my senses and intellect. Although still dealing with difficulties
regarding family members that remain under the trance.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

So how did you arrive to not believing in the god of your parents?
Best regards,

Welcome Smile How did you escape the insanity? Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
