HELP! I want to be a blues god but the devil won't show up!
Started this discussion. Last reply by Grace Fitzpatrick Jul 23, 2010. 8 Replies 0 Likes
They say legendary blues musician Robert Johnson met the devil at a crossroads, and sold his soul for blues fame. As a fan of the blues myself, blues notoriety would rock. Every time I stumble onto a…Continue
Just got here! I would love to hear why/how some of you converted to Atheism.

This is my first post here, and as a recent convert from Christianity (try not to faint from shock) I would quite enjoy hearing some interesting stories of enlightenment. Personally I became…Continue

It's good to point out that deconversion is much easier when one is exposed to the scientific perspective of things. I considered myself an agnostic until I took a biological anthropology class. I had been taught that evolution was unproven and…

Hi Adam, I was never a Christian. I was religiously confused as a kid b/c I went to UU church, learned about all religions, and my family sometimes celebrated Jewish holidays, mom sometimes dabbled in paganism. Being exposed to several…

The dr who diagnosed me told me MS was god's curse on me for being fat.
Funny, I knew someone with MS who was anorexic...

Hi Adam,
when I read "The selfish gene" a few years ago, it didn't alter my religious beliefs. Somehow belief and evolution seemed to co-exist within my head. So my transition took even longer. For me, it took stronger stuff to get…
Atheist Exile replied to Adam Lee Blake's discussion 'Just got here! I would love to hear why/how some of you converted to Atheism.'
Your transition sounds a lot like mine :-). Actually, I read the Bible and part of the Book of Mormon while still a Christian. I too somehow never noticed how insecure, petty and bloodthirsty the Old Testament revealed God to be. After becoming an…

The use of "convert" to describe becoming an atheist also bothered me. But that got me thinking -- is the reason I would shun such a word some kind of defensiveness? All atheists, to one degree or another, have had to put up with believers…

Hi Adam,
Glad you could join A/N, and I think that you will find a good diversity of atheists on this site. Although you say that your story is not terribly riveting, I would say that anyone who questions what they believe, weighs the alternatives…

Truer things have not been said man, reading that thing objectively made me wonder what the hell i had been doing. It's refreshing to see someone else arrive here in such a similar fashion :)
Preacher's Kid replied to Adam Lee Blake's discussion 'Just got here! I would love to hear why/how some of you converted to Atheism.'
My story's on my page, if you care to read it, but it's similar to yours, Adam, in that reading and studying the Bible made me deconvert. The key lies in reading the Bible objectively.

Heck yeah man! You're pretty fortunate to have traveled to non-christian countries, i'm jealous! I'm sorry to hear the south still isn't a good place to "come out", although Ohio is only slightly better.. Some day man..…

I'm actually in the Psychology field, but Paleontology has always fascinated me! I can't wait to learn more, what an awesome age we live in!

I actually just finished it! Dawkins is the man! I'm pretty damn impressed you saw through the whole "jonah and the whale" story as a child, I was a daft little bloke when I was a boy.

They don't speak to you anymore? Thats weak man, people show their true colours at times like this..

This is cool and makes me feel better.
I've been an athiest for about 8 years, I guess. I was born and raised by Baptists, so i was a Baptist. I was baptized and everything. Once I was a teenager I hated going to church and so I drifted away…

Hi Adam, I'm new here too (been here a day) but I never converted to atheism because I was never anything else so it is really interesting to read all of these amazing conversion stories on this site. I still remember when I was six years old…
Profile Information
- About Me
- To me, the pursuit of knowledge is everything. I was raised a Christian, but frustration and curiosity led me to research theology once I entered college. After reading the Bible (obviously), the Koran, and even Christian fan-fiction that is the book of Mormon, i stumbled upon The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. Being above all scientifically minded, this struck me as brilliant; i felt like I used to when i was a little fella at church camp. Soon after, I read The God Delusion by the same author, and came out of the closet as an Atheist. The wake of my conversion has lost me a few friends, but overall my life is loads simpler and more cheerful.

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Greetings, Adam! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

That's OK Arnab. Much quicker than the second coming of Christ. Wouldn't want to be hanging by the balls waiting for that to happen.
