My father was a Southern Baptist minister so I was the victim of indoctrination from an early age; state-sponsored child abuse in my opinion. Although I'm finally free from the mental poison that was woven into the fabric of my brain, there are still the occasional triggers that summon me to the darkness, i.e. blessing someone for sneezing.
Why are you here?
In the words of Emma Goldman:
"Already there are indications that theism, which is the theory of speculation, is being replaced by Atheism, which is the science of demonstration; the one hangs in the metaphysical clouds of the Beyond, while the other has its roots firmly in the soil. It is the earth, not heaven, which man must rescue if he is truly to be saved."
The religion you left

Why you left your religion.
I found superstition and fear to be an unsustainable lifestyle.
lol. if you don't participate you get kicked out from the group? is that even possible to do? launch someone from a group?
maybe we could have Morgan send out a broadcast email to those members in Sniz's group and try to get some more people involved?
agreed. it seems that a ton of people joined the group but then only a few returned to vote on which book we were going to read first. but still, if you recall the comments after the book was chosen there seemed to be plenty of people who said "great choice!" where'd they all go?
sucks because it looked like it was gonna be epic. there were so many people that joined and so many people commenting. they really seemed excited about it.
i do think that Sniz or Morgan should send out a broadcast email to everyone in the group trying to get some people involved. maybe a bunch of people simply forgot about it after joining.
