Hi. Jump in and speak your mind. We always need more Atheists around here.
Dave - Just a Man in the Mountains.
I am a Humanist. I believe in a rational philosophy of life, informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by a desire to do good for its own sake and not by an expectation of a reward or fear of punishment in an afterlife. |

I came to this understanding because the bible and all the other religions make absolutley no sense whatsoever! I havent told anyone but my closests friends. So I am just learning more and more every day. I grew up christian and then my family decided to be jewish and then messianic. I also married a muslim and had lots of friends of other faiths. ( the marriage didnt work out after only 2 years) I have studied all of these religions in depth and they all seem like nonsense to me. I am currently writing a deconversions story for ex christian website and maybe i will post one on here as well. I must say that ever sense I let go of the BS I have felt more alive and free and unburdened than I have ever felt before!
