My Progression Towards Atheism
I’ve spent my whole life slowly progressing towards atheism. I’m currently 22 and I became an official atheist probably around 18.When I was a kid I had to go to Saturday school, yes on SATURDAYS, the holy day for children who loved cartoons.

I see you like old school metal. That is the music I grew up on! My playlist is full of old and new. And some stuff you would say "what the fuck!"

- I see you are loading the TOOL onto the playlist! Good job. I have qute a bit on mine as well. I guess you'll be around for awhile. Many join and disappear in few days. Have you explored the site very much? There is a lot going on. Check out some of the groups and discussions. You will find them interesting.

- Hey Zell. It is goodd to see you are getting active on the site. Have you ever saw TOOL live? It is an amazing show. Maynard is right on cue with my feelings towards religion. He may be one of the most intellectual musicians of the day.
