Hey

[Mary]

My name is Mary, I left Christianity three years ago. I'm just here after after visiting this site anonymously for some time.

[◊ Weezer ◊]

HELLO!  Tell us about yourself and why you decided to step out of the shadows.

Hi Mary

 

Welcome to Ex-C.

 

Would you like to tell us a bit about yourself and your journey out of Christianity?

[Mary]

I was raised Christian so I believed it until 17.  I was a cherry picker when it came to the bible. I became feed up with the church after while. Every time I went to Christian summer camp I felt like my faith was real after having doubts.  I found a bunch of science videos by Richard Dawkins and his documentary on religion and started watching debates, after one month of that my faith fell apart and I became a atheist. Growing up with the internet got me out faster lol.

Oh god! If only some of us oldies had the Internet when we were young. lol.

 

Welcome Mary! Enjoy your stay.

 

You mentioned Dawkins. Here's a list, just off the top of my head.

Richard Dawkins (scathing, genetics), Stephen Fry (cutting, entertaining), Francesca Stavrakopoulou (excellent historicity), Carl Sagan (incredible science educator), James Randi (debunker), Richard Carrier (historicity), Sam Harris (cutting), Christopher Hitchens (scathing, entertaining)

Just some of my favourite atheists. Check them on YouTube, or their books.
