(Chuckle) Love It When A Preacher Packs It In!

I enrolled into Liberty University’s seminary, aspiring to be a scholar and hoping to get a doctorate in church history. I graduated with a master’s of arts in theology in December.

But, to my complete shock, I found that my doubts led me into atheism. As part of my study at Liberty, I was exposed to many criticisms against belief in God. After studying theology and philosophy, I realized the Bible was not the word of God. Supernatural miracles did not happen. Jesus Christ was a mythical figure who did not rise from the dead.

My faith completely collapsed, but a clarification settled in my heart.

I understood that God is an ancient but powerful superstition. I signed up for Clergy Project, where I found fellow ministers who doubted the existence of God. They helped me deal with emotions I felt and helped me set new goals for my life.

Reality loves a moron come to his senses!

I thought this was going to be about a gay preacher.

Looks like Liberty University is aptly named.

Matt Dillahaunty from Atheist experience was a pastor too, and studied to become a minister after he read a passage in the bible that says you should be able to back up your beliefs. I forget the verse he quoted, but it led to him becoming an atheist.

Some people have said that the best path to atheism is sometimes a honest reading of the bible. Looking up the history of the bible and other religions doesn't hurt either. Nobody will ever tell you in sunday school that Mithras from hinduism had an almost identical life to Jesus.
