Why I Joined

I was brainwashed by the 'fire & brimstone' approach at a young age, I had the fear of god beaten into my brain, so I could love god!?

Why I Left

I am a born-again Atheist. The Christian churches did not have the answers to my questions. I was not allowed to question the fallacies, hipocrisies, contradictions and innacuracies that I had found in the bible after a bible study group, I was later kicked out of. How can I believe in a god that demands blind, unquestioning faith? My intelligence requires that I think. I am no longer a blind sheep being led to the slaughter of religious entrapment that turnd so many potentially intelligent minds into stone.

Story

I was trapped by a god-freaing family. When I did wrong, I was beaten in the name of god. When I did right, it was because they prayed for me. Having been raised a Southern Baptist, I rebelled and became a Satanist for awhile, until I realized how stipid Anton LaVey and his crap was. I discovered that I did not need to replace a cult with another cult.

I learned that I can be good without god(s) or masters. Living right across the street from a church, I see how opressed and zombie-like they are, and it makes me cringe to know I used to be one of them. Christianity devalues the concept that you CAN be good without god, and I could never believe in a god that does not allow himself to be questioned. NO GODS, NO MASTERS. That's my path now...
