To be fair, Lisa just asks questions. I've never heard her present her point of view as fact, and I like the way she helps me express myself. Aside from her, the other christians came because it was Meet the Pastor and such, right?

MY CONVERSION STORY

I was never much of a believer (in Jesus) when I did believe, so conversion was pretty easy for me. I explored Christianity on my own as a child, walking to church by myself and such, but I never really grokked it. I went to a Catholic school to keep from dropping out of high school, and I found them to be very open-minded, considering. It was a great experience. For a while in high school, when we were studying other religions, I thought I might be Buddhist. As far as spiritualism goes, I like to read the Tao, but it strikes me more as a philosophy than a religion... I ignore or reinterpret anything I consider "supernatural" in it. When I was 19 I was down to only believing in God for two reasons: I couldn't imagine the universe existing without God, and I genuinely felt it's presence. I read Darwin's Dangerous Idea, which explained how there could be a universe without a god, and one day I woke up and didn't believe any more. The presence I felt wasn't gone, but it now felt like a more conscious part of myself than any outside entity. It was awesome. Overall I've been much happier as an atheist.

Greetings, Katy! Hey I was just watching sci-fi and eating cheese. Must be a connection, ha-hah. 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.

Hey Katy - I posted an informal invite on the Frisco Atheists page. It might be a good way to make some introductions. Sorry it's such short notice.

Yes, I'm the nut that rides the unicycle on Stonebrook. Most of my riding is done at The Commons, though. You must be a Friscoan.

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.
