Philosophy is for the weak minded

July 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

(Via David Adams) When I was in my teens and younger I aways had an interest in philosophical issues. My parents said that I asked questions like “who was I before I was born” and “where did everything come from” at an early age. My parents, not being particularly philosophical or religious did their best [...]

A is for Atheist

April 11, 2011 ⋅ One comment

(Via Cathy Cooper) I was a staunch Methodist, until I went to college to study religion. I had an epiphany of sorts sitting in my car, waiting for the light to change. I sat there in a daze, until the blaring horns shook me back into reality, and it was then I knew it was [...]

My Atheism

March 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

(Via Chad Matise) I was baptized when I was a baby at a Catholic church. Besides that I rarely went to church. I considered my dad and mom non-practicing Catholics, at that time. When I did go to church it was with my grandmother. So, I just believed because that is what I was told [...]

Always Godless

May 25, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

(Via Ryk) I wasn’t actually raised an atheist. Both of my parents technically professed a religion. Dad was Methodist, Mom was southern Baptist.

Other than that, I only walked into churches for weddings, funerals, and every once in a [...]

Larro’s Story

August 30, 2007 ⋅ 2 comments

(Via Ungodly Cynic) I grew up pretty much secular/agnostic, but essentially went with the flow growing up. Looking back, I remember reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in school (public) and now resent it. I never gave any thought to religion or spirituality until I started doing drugs (namely LSD) in college (Art Institute of Fort [...]

Jamie G’s Story

August 13, 2007 ⋅ 3 comments

(Via Jamie G.) I wasn’t raised in a religious home. My parents divorced when I was five and my dad, my little brother, and I, moved to OK in 1990. I can’t say that I ever thought about a god or religion, at least not until I started dating a girl who went to church. [...]
