“Realizing that I am just now starting to truly think for myself, makes me also realize that I’m an intellectual and moral infant.”

YES. So much to think… so much to question and refute inside of myself. Right there with you.

I can’t tell you how many times these same thoughts have gone through my head, but never as succinctly as you’ve put them. Thank you.

That is just about the most frustrating shit ever, isn’t it?

FWIW: I misread “a bitter man” the first time.

I thought it was “has the potential to make me a better man.”

Which also makes sense, no?

Having been an atheist since high school, I won’t claim to know how you feel. I wish it could be easier for you, and for all those who struggle to be free. But please remember that you have exactly as much time as anyone has: You have today.

Make it count.

i know how you feel. sometimes i feel like my blog title is a big fat lie, because i am really, really angry about the state of things, and i don’t feel like being amiable all the time.

nice book recommendations, by the way. 3 books that were instrumental in my “deconversion”.

Yes.

I know some who are appalled by the equating of religious education of children with child abuse, (I think Dawkins said it), but, you know, it sorta kinda is abuse. The church has long understood the critical importance of early indoctrination. You’ve probably read Greta Christina’s post on anger & atheists, but if not, google it; it’s a classic.
