Mary commented on Horacio Martinez's blog post ':O'"@logicallunatic
That was hilarious. I actually laughed out loud."
Mary replied to SteveInCO's discussion '"You are just mad at god"--Are we actually encouraging this by mistake?'"No, I just do not like the idea of god. It's kind of like saying "Omg, you don't believe in Zeus! You're definitely mad at him!"

- Hello.
I live my life on the Internet.
My true personality can only be revealed digitally, as I'm extremely uncomfortable talking face to face with people I don't know.
I'm a radical atheist. I've been a Christian since I was young, when my mother brought me up (she used to bribe me to go to church with candy). We stopped going when I became older (I think it was because my mother was too lazy) and that's when I started thinking about God.
I never really thought that he was there. I'd prayed to him (back then I thought He worked like a genie) about stuff I wanted, like a dog, and whatever. It never worked, so I asked my dad- he just said, "God picks and chooses the good." I was thinking, "How am I not good? What makes others so special?"
This is when I started to become skeptic.
In 1st grade, I met my friend Emma. She was baptized Catholic, but didn't attend church. We soon hit it off. Sometimes I'd go to church and confess in sleepovers "I don't think I believe in God." That's when I knew she didn't either.
Now I'm in high school and I've read two of Dawkins' works- The Greatest Show on Earth and The God Delusion, which has confirmed my disbelief in any higher power.
I think myself as a radical atheist, and sometimes a pantheist.
When I'm bored I like to read the Bible and mock everything.

- I'm bored, and I feel like reading some intellectual stuff after not being productive all day.
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- Eh, I was always skeptic. Maybe because my parents were never too religious. I've also read a lot of scientific material (I'm interested in science and I go to a STEM school) and decided for myself that God is a stupid concept.
