A very interesting story. It could even be true. I have no idea. I have found that the most Christian hating Atheists I have ever come across are people who grew up in overbearing religious circumstances. So maybe it is true. Then there are those of us who had crazy religious grandparents that caused us to reject God for a while. However, then life happens and eventually you find your way back. You find a different Church, another way.

What I never did was go over to the anti Christian, anti American Left wing idiots. Just like the most anti Communists are former Communists, the most fervent anti Christians are former Christians. We hope they those former Christians find their way back. I guess life hasn't happened to them yet.

Your the one that is dispensing so called wisdom. The only trouble with it is, it's not wisdom,
it's bull shit. Pure and unadulterated bull shit. And there is nothing moral about killing babies.
From the inception of the baby to its birth, it is a human in all aspects of the meaning of the word. And you think it is no different than a wart. It's obvious, it doesn't take much to be morally superior to you.


RETW

No, that is not what it means. What it means is that the religious thrall was broken. I understand your need to believe that but it was precisely that attitude that made me aware of what brainwashing really is and how it works.

I have become agnostic. I have broken the hold of the cult. I hold on to those aspects of Christianity that Christ promoted because they are rational and positive but I have divorced myself from the hierarchy. I have come to understand many of the hows and the whys and, in the light of those, see myself as searching for truth rather than announcing to all who will listen that I have found it.
