Lesa replied to dizzyduckie's discussion 'Which thoughts are mine and which are the fault of indoctrination?'Lesa replied to dizzyduckie's discussion 'Which thoughts are mine and which are the fault of indoctrination?'"I've used these lines on Christians worried about my "eternal soul", and it usually quells the urgency in their tones. Doesn't make them shut up forever, but at least they climb out of my ass for a while."
dizzyduckie replied to Lesa's discussion 'Hello'"Sadly, an American saying this sounds very common to me! It really, really angers me that they're allowed to proselytize their hearts out and force all of their beliefs to be a part of the government of a religiously-free, not…"
Scott Howard replied to Lesa's discussion 'Hello'"Knowing how you feel today. My wife started again today with her "you don't know what you've done to me" routine. As if my deconversion was aimed at her personally. Then the whopper, "If you don't believe, fine, but…"
James Cox replied to Lesa's discussion 'Hello'"Dear Folks:
A few months ago, a friend from High School, got into a conversation with another woman on my facebook page, and said that I was going to hell. Maybe they finally looked at my FB page for some heavy reading..;p). I wrote back…"

dizzyduckie replied to Lesa's discussion 'Hello'"I feel the same exact way! I cannot offer you advice right now because I'm going through such a similar experience, but I would love to be able to go through it with others who know exactly how I feel. Please feel free to add me... Even if we…"
Lesa replied to dizzyduckie's discussion 'Which thoughts are mine and which are the fault of indoctrination?'"They aren't what you want to be thinking, so I don't think those thoughts are from you; I think they're the result of many years of indoctrination. (imho)From early on you were told those aren't your own thoughts in your…"
Dennis Weaver replied to Lesa's discussion 'Hello'"Yeah, they rarely think in inverse. Well, the likely response would be how arrogant you are... Which I have been accused of before for merely stating benign opinions, yet stating them confidently. To which this short clip is fitting, from one of the…"
Lesa commented on Leslie Ann's blog post 'Am I overreacting?'"No, you didn't overreact. I'd be so pissed, what a jerk. He may have limited his search for Atheists just to be high and mighty. I wouldn't be surprised if he sent this to others. I hope he felt your glowering…"
Lesa replied to Lesa's discussion 'Hello'"I know, right? I can't imagine what would happen if I were to constantly go after Christians to get them to stop believing, you know, the way they come after me because I don't believe. Like, "HEY! You're…"
Dennis Weaver replied to Lesa's discussion 'Hello'"The thing I find impossible with this is that according to the Christian, of course it LOOKS like you're doing fine, staying afloat etc. without religion. As long as a Christian falls back on how appearances are deceiving until you die, they…"
GD Heathen replied to Lesa's discussion 'Hello'"I'm not sure it's possible. At least there are people that empathize, give us encouragement, and genuinely care about how we handle these situations even though they have never met, and may never meet us simply based on how we…"
