Just plain wrong.
(Via Scarlett Letter) My husband and I adopted a baby through the state. The birth parents had their rights removed due to drug abuse. We found out after the fact that there was a large, intact, really nice extended family who was open to having a relationship with their Grandson/Nephew/Cousin. We got together last Christmas, grandma visited several times, we [...]
Alex’s Story
(Via Alex Skeen) My story is still being written, I am in the middle of telling the world that I don’t believe. I am slowly telling my parents that I don’t believe. First, I tell them that I am liberal. Done, then I tell them that I love heavy metal. Done. Then I tell them [...]
An Act of Desperation
(Via Johan de Haan) It’s that merry time of year once more when churches morph into a placid haven for every simple soul haunted by baseless illusions of broadway grandeur and a soapbox for off-key musicians of every kind. Indeed, for the humble admission price of lending one’s ears to bronze age drivel, and the [...]
Tony’s Story
(Via Tony Kiegel) I came out godless on television yesterday on 11/01/09. I started a group with other freethinkers in Evansville, Indiana and was interviewed about it. We started in May of this year and have grown to over 260 members. It was refreshing to tell this evangelical town that we exist and stand to [...]
Tina’s Story
(Via Tina Burton) As I look back now on my past as a young person, I didn’t know anything. I thought there was a god, but only because it was expected, and fear of someone always watching me. A few years back my son and I started discussing religion and I came to the conclusion [...]
What Atheism Means to Me
(Via Ken Watts, What Atheism Means to Me: Part 1) SOME TIME AGO, when I first put a scarlet A from the Out Campaign on my site, I also posted a brief explanation of what I meant by it, at the time. Since then I’ve had to reconsider—not so much to change my views as [...]
Only
(Via Henners) I am 16, but that is irrelevant as time is illusion. I accept the ebb and flow of things, nurture them, but do not own them.
Ups and Downs
(Via Lindsey Turner) Five weeks ago I came to the bloody realization that I had been lying to myself for about 19 years, I never questioned God this hardcore or even thought about being an atheist. It made so much sense to me when I came to the realization that I was actually in the [...]
Six Confirmations & Evolution Confirmed – Again
(Via Jerry Brown) “Six Confirmations” Over the past several years I have become increasingly aware of the futility of promoting atheism as a worldview to the general public. This is, admittedly, an almost complete turnabout from my former position, but it has been necessitated by subsequent study, observation, and a desire not to be deceived. [...]
Here in the Heart of Dixie
(Via Ian) When I was young, very, very young, I was a Christian. I grew up in a very hardcore Christian family, and so never really questioned in my earliest years anything about religion. The process of becoming an atheist was unnoticed by me, meaning that I simply didn’t care enough to think about it. [...]
