WOTMQ: What Can Be Verified?

I'm so sad. I don't have a "left the Church" story. I've always told people I've been an atheist since I was asked not to come back to catechism for asking too many questions. Now I realise I must have been an atheist before that, or why did I have questions that made the nuns angry.? (truth: They were angry before I got there. I can't imagine why,)

Born in 81. I grew up southern baptist but not church attending really as my dad was a military “church is in your heart on the battlefield” and he didn’t like the buildings but still held the same beliefs. We attended typical special days and services. I didn’t get deep into church until I was 16 and joined an interdenominational church which was basically Pentecostal Minus the snakes. (No fun right). I was an armor bearer of sorts for the youth minister and regularly attended Acquire the Fire, worked on a dove award winning Christian teen television station and helped create city wide appealing youth events using my youth pastor and my graphic design skills. As a diabetic and a “don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining” mentality I couldn’t pretend anymore. Why does uncle Joes backache go away but my diabetes won’t. Or why doesn’t God heal Jim’s missing arm from the war. I have always thought your story and mine were very similar. Also it’s hard to really justify god killing the first borns who likely had no idea god and pharaoh were beefing. Shrug. Love your work, been a fan since Mr Deity episode 1.

Oh, you already know that I had to run the very same shame gauntlet as you. It is always the fundamental (pun!) dogma of a cult: "if you dare use your brain and open your "lying eyes"… there's something wrong with YOU!"

Oh yeah? Well.. well... I proclaim I am THE smartestest atheist ever (and Matt Dillahunty is the TRUE prophet) lol 😉
