Catholic School Made Me An Atheist
(Via FallacyFallacy) Firstly, I should probably clarify that I grew up in Australia, and that I’m still only 18 years old, so this is all quite recent. My parents raised me I an environment sort of outside of religion. I knew it existed, vaguely, but didn’t really know much about it. Whenever I asked my [...]
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 [...]
Stan’s Story
(Va Stan Park) I am not able to be classified as an atheist in light of such ideas, but this is irrelevant in any case. At any rate I do not limit myself to being “godless” or “atheist”, as these are very much not any better than what religions provide us. My only concern is [...]
Marshall’s Story
(Via Marshall Davis) My first day in a Southern Baptist church was 2 weeks after I was born. I was always a bit shaken when I saw how emotional people got at certain times, but I was always bit more calm than anyone else. I stopped going to any services when I left home – [...]
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.)
It’s Time
(Via Poodles) Sometimes memes can give you some motivation to write about something that should have been written a long time ago. I think deconversion stories are important. I think they can be helpful to those rolling on the edge of atheism, scared or uncomfortable to take those last steps. The internet is a great [...]
Larro’s Story
(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 [...]
Allen M’s Story
(Via Allen M) I’m not that old, a little under 17. I don’t remember a lot of my childhood, a few little patches of memory up until I was about nine of ten. I suppose I never believed in god, although my memory kicks in at nine, at this point I was a little scared [...]
Giovanna Marchese’s Story
(Via Giovanna Marchese) I was always a very religious person. I was born into a Sicilian-Catholic family. I went to Catholic school and was the kid that always had questions on religion because so much of it didn’t make sense. But I was brainwashed very well and bought into it 100%. Then the teen years [...]
