What is your story? How did you become a someone denying an existence of G-d, or God, or #k@, or $? What exactly made you do this? There are many reasons, some of which I have forgotten. One of the reasons is a Christian theological position, that is, that the God of the Christians is the real/true God, whereas the gods of the ancient Greeks and Romans are mythic, not real. So, a Christian is actually atheistic relatively to the non-Christian religions. Also: the reason why Christianity is so widespread is a miracle the true God has performed, whereas I found out that Christianity [baptism] was imposed by edict or force by Theodosius and by Charlemagne and others. Finally I analyzed the Biblical theology (the doctrines in Genesis, etc.) and found them filled with contradictions, which make Judeo-Christian theism irrational, absurd. It is true that Tertullian said, "I believe because it is absurd" [Credo quia absurdum], but I am and chose to be a rational person. I found that the philosophical arguments for the existence of a God are invalid or fallacious. So, mine is the triumph of Reason.

I started watching atheist YouTubers (lmao) like DarkMatter2525 and the rest is history.. I was relieved that g*d isn't real since it meant I won't go to hell for arbitrary reasons like listening to the wrong kind of music . But even though I'm not religious anymore, I've become more right-wing since then. Did you decide on atheism after your dark moments in life?

It was a while back but I just remember stumbling upon the atheist videos while watching Mortal Kombat videos.

I was born atheist although I never considered myself one. It's sad that people never develop their right mind enough to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Once you see the Kingdom you are instantly transformed. Sadly people never enter the spirit to see it.

It was my post... So long ago...
I don't know why, but I loved those times... Were so fascinating!
No stupid corona, no stupid censorship politics, and Trump was a president.

Every Small Victory Over Confusion Is Something to Be Proud Of It's also a matter of feeling. I would feel weak and insignificant if I subjected myself to any higher power.
