What made me change my mind... I decided that it didn't make sense... and I realized I was in a cult and had been indoctrinated at birth and that was that.
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!  Heart

Unlike FSM Jesus has never delivered me a laserdisc system, Thanks FSM.
"For the only way to eternal glory is a life lived in service of our Lord, FSM; Verily it is FSM who is the perfect being the name higher than all names, king of all kings and will bestow upon us all, one day, The great reclaiming"  -The Prophet Boiardi-

I was tired of constantly adjusting the way I wanted to live my life to a belief system that lacks evidence.

When I say that, I don't mean that I was tired of having to restrain myself from condemned behaviors -- no hedonism here. But I was upset that I was not allowed to support LGBT rights, a women's right to choose, funding for birth control, the removal of religious references from government, and other things. I was frustrated by the fact that I was barred in principle from dating members of other faith communities, and different sexual preferences. in effect, I was craving for the ability to be able to "think different."

That's when I knew I was atheist.

Clearly. You might want to get a blood test and see if someone spread some "love" in your direction. Angel

If he existed, Jesus always seemed like a douchey fuckwit who's so far up his own ass he thought he was god in human form.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
