My "Spiritual" Journey: From Agnostic to Christian to Atheist to Freedom

I suppose I have been skeptical of religion all my life. An early childhood experience at a local Pentecostal church, attended by what seemed like normal sane adults, quickly deteriorated into a disturbing circus (initiated by a fiery southern preacher accompanied by a gleeful organist working in unison) of: unintelligible speech, flopping on the floor, fainting, crying, and pitiful entreaties to god for for his forgiveness from the ecstatic congregation. Even at that early age I found it… Continue

Choosing my Religion...Again. And Again.

For the last 15 years, I have classified myself as "Christian". From birth to about ten years old, I was a Catholic, then I converted to being Baptist until I was fifteen. As a Catholic, I felt nothing but shame that I was too poor to go to Catholic school, and I hated being in the heathenish Public School. I read my Bible, praying for a better life.

I met a friend in the fourth grade, and she shared the gospel with me. At age nine. In Public School. I went to her church, read her… Continue

Rare Charles Darwin book found on toilet bookshelf

LONDON – An auction house says it is selling a rare first edition of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" found in a family's guest lavatory in southern England.

Christie's auction house said Sunday the book — one of around 1,250 copies first printed in 1859 — had been on a toilet bookshelf at a family's home in Oxford.

The book will be auctioned on Tuesday, the 150th anniversary of the publication of the famous… Continue

Chick Publications: "Witnessing" Made Easy

[Edited 11-21-09, 4:11PM: I realized hours after posting this how inappropriate it was of me to hotwire those images. But! I will provide links.]

I have an easy, convenient, and enjoyable job that unfortunately has a single, glaring flaw - it's like a watering hole for the religious right.

Underneath the coffee bar where I work is a periodicals basket for the The Wall Street Journal, the local paper, and community bulletins. Three days ago during my night shift, I… Continue

My Atheist Gym Buddy

I work out at the gym every weekday morning before work. The same group of people are there, usually. We are sometimes serious in our workouts, and other times we chat about our family and our lives. There's a lady that I chat with almost every day when the others have left for work and we're alone.

Today, after hearing her talking with one of the other regulars about a situation that was "prayed over", I came out to her as an atheist. She gave me a sly smile and said, "I get it".… Continue

The Christian Nation Myth

Whenever the Supreme Court makes a decision that in any way restricts the intrusion of religion into the affairs of government, a flood of editorials, articles, and letters

protesting the ruling is sure to appear in the newspapers. Many protesters decry these

decisions on the grounds that they conflict with the wishes and intents of the

"founding fathers."

Such a…

Please consider...your life depends on it.

Its amazing to me that atheist say, "Christians must prove there is a God..." when there is revelation all around us. Just look at nature and how amazing each species and creature operates, look at the human body and how incredible and complex it is... I think it is harded to prove or comprehend that we have evolved from some primal ooze than a master creator. Acutally there is more unanswered question with evolution today that when Darwin originally theroized this concept. In other word, more… Continue

Indianapolis Schools Ban Atheism Websites

Indianapolis Schools Ban Atheism Website

by Jesse Galef

The Indianapolis Public School system has a policy to ban certain websites from being viewed at school. I certainly hated it when I was in high school (we found ways to bypass it if course) but it’s a reasonable idea. And the list of subjects banned is pretty straightforward: Pornography, Social Networking, Atheism and “Alternative Spirituality”, Games –

Experiencing Death?

One of the hardest parts about being an Atheist is accepting that there is no afterlife.

Someone once asked me what death would be like, and the only answer that I could give was that it feels the same as forcing yourself to remember a period of time before you were born. In other words, it feels like nothing. It didn't hurt before you existed because you lacked the pain receptors to feel pain, and the pain of dying will only last as long as your body remains alive to feel the… Continue

Religion in the USA

Just so you know, I'm a 72 year old Englishman, a socialist and an atheist - and have held these views since I learned to think for myself and not let others do this for me. Also I am new to this website and have not yet read much of what has been written, so if I am repeating something which has already received attention, I apologise.

Our society appears to be far more tolerant of atheists than the US, where I lived for several years and found that I was treated as a bit of an oddball… Continue
