Agnostic
Walks About Like a Lion
There’s nothing like a little religiousity to get the blood flowing, as many former religionists know. I came from the Xian tradition coupled with an ample seasoning of humanism.
The anticlimactic ‘coming out’
Well, over the last couple of weeks I’ve been making a serious effort to ‘come out’ as an atheist. Granted, my status on myspace and whatnot has said ‘atheist’ for ‘religion’ for years now (prior to that I was agnostic, so there was absolutely no response to that change.)
Out of God’s Closet
On Mothers Day, 1967, my eight siblings and I circled the huge table at Mom’s place. No one there knew my hypocrisy when I, the family priest, blessed that heavy table as requested. No one yet knew my secret.
Nothing earth-shattering
I don’t remember the exact moment I became an atheist (I think it was more of a slow draining away, but I remember why.
Surrounded By Christians
(Via Tom) I don’t know exactly how to start this story off. I guess i should start off by saying I was home schooled as a child. I only went to a (Christian) private preschool and kindergarten (if that even counts) so of course I was taught nothing but creationism and a biblical world view [...]
Two Two Two for one!
(Via Andy Barnes) I’m certain I was the only child in my rural, Midwestern community who was raised by an agnostic mother and a vitriolic Atheist father. To further complicate my story, and my life in Bargersville, IN (which, 25 years ago wasn’t the bustling metropolis it is today!), I decided in the first grade [...]
Kelsey’s Story
(Via Kelsey Graham) i have been an atheist since i was maybe twelve. before that, my incredibly christian relatives insisted upon forcing me into religion. most of my life until the age of twelve, though, i was an agnostic trying to figure out why i was supposed to believe in god. after coming godless, i [...]
Why I’m a Humanist
(Via Abi) Before I start rambling, if you want to know what Humanism is all about…. I thought I’d write about my reasons for being Humanistic… I had an odd and sort of fractured childhood, but when I was very little I remember my parents were evangelistic Christians, or whatever the correct term is…. I [...]
Still in hiding
(Via Kourtney) I’m agnostic. I have been for the pasted 5 years. I never told my mom until she found it on my MySpace page. She confronted me about it and I confirmed it. My dad is clueless though but I have no doubt my mom told him.
Fair warning to “unequally yoked”
(Via Inversionmaster) My story is probably not that interesting (until the more recent stuff) since I was never a believer. I vaguely recall kindergarten Sunday school and having doubts about the creation story. My family attended church off and on, due to my mother’s prodding. Mom might be considered Christian-lite and my dad is probably [...]
