Wynprks replied to Anachro1's discussion 'How committed are you to your atheism?' in the group Coming Out Godless: What's Your Story?"I don't consider myself convinced because I've never had any belief as far back as I can remember, I've always felt like it was some kind of a trick to get me to do/not do certain things, therefore I am adamant about the fact that…"
Ken Hughes replied to Anachro1's discussion 'How committed are you to your atheism?' in the group Coming Out Godless: What's Your Story?"Wow, Lynchburg!
I do firmly believe that progress is being made against irrational beliefs now that we're in the 21st century and religion is humanity's greatest mass concentration of irrationality. Falwell was one of…"
Ken Hughes replied to Anachro1's discussion 'How committed are you to your atheism?' in the group Coming Out Godless: What's Your Story?"I was a skeptic from earliest memory, and being born in small-town North Carolina in Feb, '44 I was pretty much ahead of the curve I'm sure. Even before I entered school in 1950 I argued with cousins about the impossibility of Santa…"
Wynprks replied to Anachro1's discussion 'How committed are you to your atheism?' in the group Coming Out Godless: What's Your Story?" As a young boy, around 7 or 8, I remember the neighbor girl coming over and showing me her new church dress, she asked me if I was going to go to church, I asked "Why would I go there?" she said "To pray to god", I said…"

Ed replied to Anachro1's discussion 'How committed are you to your atheism?' in the group Coming Out Godless: What's Your Story?"At this point in my life (mid-fifties) I am completely grounded in my understanding of the origins of matter, man, and the romance of religion. If people need a crutch to deal with reality I cannot fault them for that. Acceptance of our finite…"
Anachro1 replied to Be Rational's discussion 'What is the best argument you ever heard FOR religion?'"Church is very important. For at least one hour a week, we all know where all these deluded assholes are hiding."
Cara Coleen replied to Anachro1's discussion 'How committed are you to your atheism?' in the group Coming Out Godless: What's Your Story?"I consider myself convinced and, yes, adamant. Sometimes I look over my should, but it's not because I think there's something to look at. There are aspects of religion/believing that I miss, but that sentimental feeling doesn't sway…"
Daria Black replied to Anachro1's discussion 'The frustration of living in a religion dominated world'"I'm sorry. I don't understand this statement.

Daria Black replied to Anachro1's discussion 'The frustration of living in a religion dominated world'"What bothers me the most is that they won't live and let live. They want respect for their beliefs but refuse to show any for anyone else."
