garrisonjj Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 After being uptight about sinning and leading a religious life yet secretely hating every minute of the charade,,,,I can say I am rid of it! . You wonderful clear minded people help me realize the falseness of religion. Lately,,, I've been doing research on hell and the whole concept seems like a fabrication and THAT is from a second hand translation at best. At last I can say "godfuckin damnit" to it all and feel great. The blasphmey at easter services for appearance and family sake even made me feel better over losing religion as guilt free as possible!!! PLEASE KEEP SENDING ME IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS!!!! I DON'T WANT TO LAPSE BACK INTO THE RELIGION BULLSHIT CULT!!!! Thanks, gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evelyn Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 While you study the history/origin of hell, you can also read up on the history of satan, too, with the same result... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, gary Don't worry - it's really hard to slip back into self-deception when you know better. Just keep reading history, using common sense, and go through the links & recommended reading at this site. After all, ignorance is xtianity's handmaiden! Smarties are harder to fool!

non conformist Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 READ, READ, READ!!! And when you're done read some more. Hey, you want to deconvert for good? Read the bible in its entirity. Pay attention to it all. Once I did that, game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spamandham Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Woohoo! I'll echo what the otehrs have recommended. Inform yourself. Here is your reading assignment: "The Demon Haunted World..." by Carl Sagan "The Bible Unearthed..." by Silberman and Finkelstein "The History of God" by Karen Armstrong "The Real Lincoln" by Thomas J. DiLorenzo ok, ok, the last one was a shameless plug to freeing your mind from the other great meme beside religion - statism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcissist Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I'm also having a similar experience. It's been 5-6 years since (gradually) abandoning Xny for me and just this last year or so my life has never felt so good. Even when things go wrong I'm bouncing back quicker + better, despite the "fact" that I no longer have a god to help me. Although I've still got a bit to go before I join the ranks of what I consider "normal" people, my life is now filled with a hope and an optimism that I will one day soon. This is a hope that I never had, nor seemingly was permitted to have (despite the rhetoric), as a christian. More books: "The Blind Watchmaker" - Richard Dawkins "Evolution of Species" - Charles Darwin Any/all books by John Shelby Spong legal porn Websites: talkorigins.org here (obviously), etc legal porn Also, if you're not doing it already, go and get drunk with friends and/or work colleagues.
