It's a blog update from me! Wow!
Okay, I know no one on here even knows who I am. It's been a very long time since my last post. Therefore, no one is going to jump up and down in joy and rapture (har!) at this little update of mine.
From what I'm able to gather from previous blog posts and comments, when last you heard from me, I was contemplating coming out to my parents about being an atheist and having a hard time dealing with the reactions of my extended…

Some of you may remember that I received a Facebook message from a Christian friend of mine awhile back, wherein she took it upon herself to tell me how much God loves me and all that. I responded to her in kind, explaining as nicely as I could why I no longer believe. I never got a response from her after that.
Tonight, I received a message from a cousin. She was raised Catholic and although I don't think she really practices anymore, she…

Letter to a Christian Friend

Today I received a message on Facebook from a friend that I knew in YWAM (she's French, so her English isn't perfect):
Girl !!! I've been thinking of you lately? How are you?? I remembered clearly the day in india when we preached and you found the courage to share what happened to you and how God was restoring you. I admired so much what you did that day !!! I've seen on your status that you were not so crazy about all of this anymore. And i wanted to share with you that… Continue

My Aunt's Crusade, Part II
Posted on December 11, 2009 at 4:20pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
As discussed in my previous blog, the books my aunt promised to send arrived today. She sent me Josh McDowell's The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict and Answers to Tough Questions Skeptics Ask About the Christian Faith. I have just over three weeks off from college for the holidays and I hope to have the books read within that time. I will also be posting my thoughts, questions, and interesting quotes from the books on here for your entertainment.
Thanks to everyone… Continue

My aunt's crusade
Posted on December 5, 2009 at 12:22pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
I have been very open about being an atheist on Facebook and Twitter. I'm rather open about it in real life too, except to my parents. My dad's family is fairly religious and my aunt, who has seen all of my posts on atheism, has taken it upon herself to bring me back to God.
For those who don't know, I was raised Christian and was very involved in the church, to the point of being a missionary in India for a short time. After returning from the mission, I began to question my faith… Continue

"It's great to find believers that are accepting of our point of view instead of the usual, "You worship satan" and so on."
Kristi Leitholt commented on Kristi Leitholt's blog post "Just Curious"

Glen Barton commented on Kristi Leitholt's blog post My aunt's crusade

first, i agree with yourself and comments already posted - despite your Aunt's "niceness" quotient, she needs to know that what she's doing is in fact patronising and, well, pretty intellectually offensive. Have fun…"

If she is your friend you owe her an honest response - and I think you gave her that. It will be interesting what her reply is."

Kristi,I run small ads in my town's local newspapers and by some coincidence this week's ad is the Susan B. Anthony quote you have at the head of your site.
Thanks for the message. Id' love to hear your experiences as an atheist student nurse. Congratulations and good luck in your studies!
