Matthew Stanger replied to Robert Karp's discussion 'Should Unemployed Veterans Be Given Special Treatement?'
Gianni Agnellini commented on Matthew Stanger's blog post 'Can't Sleep'""I will miss my life when it’s gone, but I won’t because I won’t realize it."
That line, crude as it is, is the truth. And that very line separates us from the many agonizing minds."
Matthew Stanger replied to Rocky Oliver (LotusGeek)'s discussion 'What xian/religious sayings get on your nerves?'"When I was a teenager we were going through a tough financial time, and the answer to any problem, like not much food in the house, was "the lord will provide". That was always the most terrifying thing for me to hear."
Matthew Stanger posted a blog postCan't Sleep
I couldn’t sleep last night because when I think about not existing (common for me before bed) it gets hard for me to turn off my brain and fall asleep. I’m sure I can’t be the only one, so I usually just lie in bed and think about comforts of death in Atheism (and maybe a few jabs at Christianity) and I just thought I’d vent a little.-Rambling start’s here: Christians are so fed up with the idea of everlasting life, but have you ever stopped and really thought about that, eternal life.

- About Me:
- I'm 22 years old and just finished my degree in Electrical Engineering. I now work as a systems integration engineer. I listen to a lot of music (Dubstep, Alt/Rock, Folk). I was raised in a strongly oriented Christian family but during my schooling I came to a state of awareness and I am unable to ignore the logic and order of life. There is nothing reasonable about Christianity, except for love and compassion, and in my opinion neither of those things should come conditionally.

- Why are you here?
- Stumble(d)upon(.com) this website and found a place with people that had things worth reading. It’s not very often I get to talk to people who are outside of the "the Wal-Mart crowd". It’s nice to come to a place where there are open minded, thinking people. I'm here because I live in Christian zombie land, I need a venue where I can meet others who are reasonable thinking people.
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- Christianity is a joke, virgins don’t have babies, water can’t be turned into wine and you’re never going to just dissolve and float off to never never land. People listen to storied about Greek gods and think wow how could they have believe in something so absurd. It might be too much for us to determine how it all came to be but we can know that consciousness is from the brain, not a magical essence inside of you. I refuse to be a zombie, I refuse to have a nothing life and let a religion give me an excuse to subdue my hopes and dreams.
