I Am An Atheist

I think the quickest way to become a non-believer of the Judeo- Christian religion is to read the bible.

The further I take myself from my Christian upbringing the easier it is to think through my problems clearly and rationally

I try not even reading the bible because all Christians say that the old testament doesn't matter and that it is only the "new" testament. That crap doesn't make sense because that one statement just refutes their whole religion. Unless some priest knows where God's publishing company is then it's all faked.

Ironically, there's actually some younger Christians with the same fallacies as the older Christians but have never even heard of the old testament, so they'll say that I'm making stuff up.

Rather the truth at least from what I observed, is that Christians have to get with the times so they burn their old books and they try to change it to the times. All under the guise of a holy book. I pretty much figured it out. They do a good job of lying though.

I'd love to experience becoming an atheist, but I didn't really get any experience of religion until RE lessons in secondary school (high school). That moment of realisation, seeing the light, must be wonderful. Both my parents are atheists, as were my grandparents on one side, so I've never been hooked into that world of religion.

I became an atheist when I attended an evangelical youth service by mistake. The preacher said "If you don't believe in the virgin birth, then you cannot believe in Christ crucified"

I thought "Well as I don't believe in the virgin birth idiocy, I can't believe in Jesus. Bye bye religion."

I'm pretty sure I've always been an atheist but I made it a point to read most religious texts. They're very interesting in what they reveal about human nature. I couldn't imagine taking any of them literally, though.
