"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…"

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

"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…"

"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…"

"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.

"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…"

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.
