No more Bible, no more prayer, no more struggling. I was in and out of church for a good few years until the end. My last church service was Easter 2005. It has been a colossal waste of time but I now aim to make something of hopefully another 40 or so years I have left.

I don't like to think about the time and energy I put into promoting, as Dawkins calls them, 'bronze age myths.' I've decided to keep looking ahead, but not pass an opportunity to try and help another out of fundamentalism....welcome -------------------------------------------------------------- Throughout human history, the apostles of purity, those who have claimed to possess a total explanation, have wrought havoc among mere mixed-up human beings. --Salman Rushdie

All that stuff is in the Bible and yet they tell me it"s not mythology?

Yep.....Congratulations! That time isn't a complete waste.....WAer's have learned stuff about the human race that other's who have not had that experience don't know about.... Liberal christian...what are they?,,,,,foolish maybe playing with fire but people like us know about the shit! nah...nothing is a complete waste. (my past shit...has made me a strong person......a person who isn't easily taken in by the crap......dodgy salespeople or fuckedup politicians... yay..Frank...you are a trooper.....a success!!! A human being who has survived that horror of christianity!!!! Enjoy the rest of your life! -------------------------------------------------------------- In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince people that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy person living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, woman(man) is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation. -- George H Smith, Atheism: The Case Against God

At least now you know and won't be sucked in again. How much better than to have spent a lifetime stuck in that awful mindset. -------------------------------------------------------------- Albert Einstein: "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe" a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us." Namaste
