Freethinkers/Atheists/Naturalists Unite

[Apocalipstic]

Another recovering Southern Baptist here, is this maybe a theme?

When I found out I had been lied to about Santa Clause, I decided I had also been lied to about there being a God. I was ten. Since my parents were SB missionaries, I lived inside my head and tried to fit in and believe but logically how can we really know what happens after death?

I'm not a scientist, but I believe that we are all made from and connected by electricity.

There are good parts in every religion, though it confuses me how often religion is used as an excuse for really bad behavior.

Thanks for starting this thread, I am very interested in reading and thinking about how we can live in a connected, joyful and humane way without believing in a celestial dude (no disrespect to the FSM, of course )
