Very nicely written description of your emergence from the darkness of dogma. I, too, came out of that unfortunate dungeon that is fundamentalist Christianity and am so grateful for it. We're both "newbs" but at least we're enlightened newbs who no longer have to worry about fairy tale gods, demons and other nonsense.

Reality Rocks!

Religion is an unfortunate vestige of our rise from ignorance. Our psyche certainly has many shortcomings, but religion lingers as one of its more destructive outlets. It is diametrically opposed to progress in almost every sense of the word.

Killing this man for his adherence to reason and expose of one religion's horror is such a travesty. What an incredible example.

Lets face it, religion is for the ignorant, weak minded and short sighted.
