Hello Everyone!

Hello Everyone!
Hello!
I have been an Atheist for three years now and I'm loving it. I used to be a really really strong Christian who absolutely hated Atheists with a passion. I used to go to church everyday, I went to a Catholic school from 2nd-8th, I read the bible and did CCD, just your good ole Christian. Before going to a Catholic high school, I had a friend who was an Atheist and him and I would start getting into debates with him and, obviously, I would lose every single one. Before going to high school, I was at mass and I was kneeling and I said a prayer, which was "God, grant me the ability to be the best Christian that I can possibly be."

After losing yet another debate, I started researching and realizing how wrong I was and became an agnostic until I found Christopher Hitchens and then I became an Atheist. My mom cried when she found out and being an Atheist in a Catholic high school isn't easy, but I pull through. I've adopted a much better outlook on life every since I became an Atheist.

No you didn't, you were never really a Christian, or you wouldn't have lost your faith.

Just wanted you to be prepared for when some theist tells you that. Wink

Welcome to the Dark Side!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Confraternity of Christian Doctrine

I had to go to it from second to eighth grade. I hardly even learned anything.
