Always Godless
Could never believe
(Via latsot) I’ve never been able to believe in gods. I don’t think I ever really tried. My first clue was probably when I was about four and my older sister started telling me about her personal relationship with god and how he spoke to her. I kept trying to ask just *how* he spoke [...]
Eric’s Story
(Via Eric Amundrud) I guess that I have always felt godless. It was the pressure of family and friends that kept me in the belief system in which I was raised. It has been a long journey to where I am now. It includes spending time as: Episcoplian, Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism, Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, Roman [...]
The Meaning Of Life is The Meaning You Give It
(Via Jonno) Growing up, I was taught a prayer to say before I went to bed. I can still remember it. “In this little bed I lie, Heavenly Father hear my cry, God protect me through the night and Keep me safe ’til morning light, Amen.” I would say it each and every night and [...]
I was Born Atheist
(Via Jamie McCants) I first realized I was a non-theist when I first began to think about religion. At 8 years old, I ‘came out’ to my mother while we were discussing an aspect of Christianity. I asked her what heaven would be like, and upon hearing her answer and deciding that heaven was too [...]
Devin’s Story
(Via Devin) I’m a born atheist. Simply my parents didn’t implant the stupid concept of god in my infanthood. I thank them once in a while for that. So I have no fear of any unseen imaginary power. I believe something when it can be proved without doubt. I am happy to contact atheists all [...]
Noah’s Story
(Via Noah Simoneaux) I never bought into the whole religious party line. Even when I was young, all the time the preachers were telling me about their “good news” I was remembering the other advice my parents gave me. Never believe what other people tell you automatically, no matter who they are. I was about [...]
The Godless Life Is The Good Life
Looking back on my life I was lucky to have been raised in a free thinking, relatively religion free household. Both of my parents had been raised in pretty strict catholic families. My dad was an atheist and my mom was only moderately religious.
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.)
Always atheist
(Via Justin Bonaparte) I grew up in suburban Detroit in a moderately religious household. We attended church most Sundays. I went to Catholic school from K-9. In all this time, I cannot remember ever believing a shred of dogma. I can remember being very young, in mass, looking around at the stained glass, the crucifix, [...]
