Former Fundamentalist Turned Atheist After 8 Years of Belief
sent in by Chris Campbell
Ever since I was a young child, I believed in the Christian god. I remember from an early age my mother bought me a childrens' Bible, and I thumbed through it but didn't really understand it. Over time, I somewhat forgot about this god.
My home life wasn't all that great. A product of a broken home, and a neglectful alcoholic mother, I turned to religion in my late teens. I ended up going to a church a couple of times with a girl I was dating, but really didn't follow through with it.
I ended up joining the Navy at age 18, and prior to getting out, I picked up a Bible and started reading. I willingly believed everything in it, "knowing" it was true. Upon coming back to California, I immediately enrolled in a Bible study/fellowship group, and fell head long into eight long years of fundamentalist Christianity. I swalled it hook, line, and sinker.
Throughout my journey as a Christian, there were periods of "falling away" and doing my own thing. I was always fiercely independant. The whole time, I still believed in a diety. I ended up coming back to it a couple of years later, having an emotional breakdown in the process of "re-conversion".
I pursued Christianty for another year or so, and then fell away again for a couple more years. After two years of guilt and self condemnation, I decided to end the question once and for all about whether or not what I believed was true. I ended to trying to break through the wall of my mind by asking myself very basic, inductive questions. It wasn't long thereafter that I hit and devoured internet sites like "Infidels.org". I read everything I could get my hands on, and from that point on Christianity collapsed like the house of cards it is.
I have never looked back, and never will. I know for certain that Bible god doesn't exist. Every law of nature, the question of evil (to mention of couple of things) militates against any loving sky daddy existing. To me, it's common sense.
Since my deconversion, I have pursued all sorts of interests and studies: Evolution vs. Creationism, science, and the study of world religions just to name a few. I have come to the conclusion that all religions are nothing but dogma and bunk, especially the monotheistic ones.
I am so glad to be rid of Christianity and the prision that binds the mind, once and for all.

I forgot to pick up my "sex" from supply, perhaps I should go stand in line. Oh, and the sex is okay in gods eyes if its conducted in the right place, sounds like an alibi used by a pedophile priest who always conducted business in church, and while you're here giving sex-ed classes, what is so holy about trying to ravish a woman with unbridled passion, seems to me its a bit more than a holy act. if not, then throw in, a male penis thrusting inside a woman in an effort to eject hormonal fluids, is that more holy.
I suppose next, you're going to suggest that your god gives a rats ass regarding how a person buries their natural shit.
Deuteronomy 23:13-14 - "And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of they camp, and deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall they camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee."
Psalms, 23:
1: The Poop LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2: He maketh me to lie down in squating pastures: he leadeth me beside the still paddles.
3: He restoreth my corncob bucket: he leadeth me in the paths of pooplessness for his name's sake.
4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of poop, I will fear no poop: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy holy paddle they comfort me.
5: Thou preparest an outhouse before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my butt with oil; my bowels runneth over.
6: Surely clean sandles and corncobs shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the outhouse of the Poop LORD for ever.
Well, there appears to be all kinds of shit in the bible these days.
And having Jesus in my life doesn't make me feel i'm a good boy. the more i learn about God the worst i feel about myself cause i recogniced what he did for me a lill cocroach...and homogenes n ur arguement about men not having choices u need to read how people who were gay etc when they accepted Jesus how he turned their life around so don't give me gene talk. so if theres a homo gene we stil got choice just like some people got fat genes doesn't mean they have to be fat.
The universe has always existed and will always exist. It is called expansion and contraction. It is an endless cycle, no beginning and no end. Your silly god has a beginning, that is man made it up and hence the beginning of god!
Yes I know what the two terms mean. Hell, I can even spell them! LOL
Pop my bubble?! The bible and jesus are fake, make believe items for illiterate people like you who are too dumb to learn and therefore easier to control.
Obviously, no one is here to prove to you anything. Therefore, you can leave, and let the virtual door hit ya', where Nature split ya'...
On genetics, people are physiologically created, and have naturally unique features. A person can act naturally based on their genetic disposition, or they can choose to "not" act on their genetic disposition. Its still a choice.
Biologically speaking, a male who weighs 300lbs of solid muscle and is genetically molded in that manner, doesn't have to engage in a career that requires his muscles, because he has a "choice"... that doesn't mean he won't do a good job at what he does, however, he is "still" naturally predisposed to be naturally gifted with physical strength... So, there is a body composition starter for you...
Into Sexuality;
Hermaphroditism - "Congenital condition in which external genitalia and internal sex organs have both male and female characteristics.
Androgyny - Showing characteristics of both sexes
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
Klinefelter's Syndrome - Normally, men are born with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (the chromosomes which determine gender). Klinefelter's syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs when a man is born with two or more X (female) chromosomes. Approximately 1 in 850 men have Klinefelter's syndrome. Symptoms of Klinefelter's syndrome include longer legs, a higher voice, a thinner beard than average men, smaller than normal testicles, and the inability to produce sperm (infertility). Men with Klinefelter's syndrome also have lower levels of androgens (male hormones) and higher levels of estrogen (female hormones).
People, are born with natural traits. They can either naturally accept those traits, or they can attempt to "modify" those traits in order to "fit" into the social mold. The question is, "why" should someone "have" to fit into a mold, in order to be treated with respect. Religions require people to conform, and if one is "out of the norm", then they aren't accepted as part of the social group. Its not about respecting the natural state of a persons' being, religion is all about assimilating people, to be what they "want" everyone to become, and have no problem destroying people psychologically in order to get them to undergo surgery, etc., to 'change' themselves.
Anyone can make a choice in life to be either gay or not gay, but if a male is predispositioned naturally, with a feminine essence with physiological attributes, who gets to tell them, they're wrong for making a decision based upon their "own" natural disposition. Who gives religion, the right, to say, this or that person isn't "genetically" right, and seems gay, therefore, they can't be a preacher... How do you tell a child who has had to undergo surgery as a child, with both reproductive organs of a male and female, if they made the "right" decision, I mean, they are obviously "gay" no matter which way they go. If they choose to be male, then they're really a lesbian who allowed themselves to keep their male organs, I suppose that would make them a dyke... If they choose to be a female, then they're really a homosexual who allowed themselves to keep their female organs, its obvious they had an attraction to males which led them to the decision...
Anonymous, there's your education on the "homo" gene... its called chromosomes, and physiological changes... Why not overwhelm us with your erudition, and tell us why you believe a homosexual is immoral... and if there is ever a reason a person could justify being a homosexual... without going to hell... Remember, if a child is born with a deformaty, are they predestined to hell, or should they just keep their sexual affairs off of the market, and lead a repressed life... like yourself...
Accepted definition: A person born with both male and female sex organs.This is a vague, confusing and inaccurate definition. There are 3 labels of Hermaphrodites: True, Male pseudo and Female Pseudo. All are equally genuine.
TRUE
A person born with both ovary and testicular tissue, this could be 2 seperate gonads ( one of each) or a combination of both in one (an ovotestes). The genitalia can vary from completely male or female, to a combination of both or even ambiguous looking. The chromosome (karotype) compliment can be XX (female), XY (male), XX/XY (mosiac) or even XO (extremely rare). Those XX with female genitalia are raised female ( some have even given birth). Those XY with male genitalia are raised male ( a few have fathered children). The children born XX/XY or XO (with genitalia male or female are raised in the sex they look most like) ,Those born with ambiguous genitalia have many medical tests for the doctors to determine which sex they should be assigned. Doctors then recommend early surgery to make the child look physically like the sex assigned to them.
CAUSES
The causes are not known, The medical community does know this is a very rare condition but do not have accurate figures to how many people have this condition (depending on the literature between 350-450 known cases).
FEMALE PSEUDO
A person born XX with normal female internal organs but with "masculanized" genitalia. They can appear more male then female or a combination of each.
CAUSES
The most common is Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) it occurs approximately 1:14,000 births.This is when the adrenal glands overproduce testosterone. It also has been recorded that some persons with this disorder had been exposed to progesterone-like drugs before they were born.
MALE PSEUDO
A person born XY with testes (usually in the abdominal cavity). The external genitalia are usually female but can be ambiguous.
CAUSES
The most common cause is Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS). This is when the body doesn't respond to the androgen being produced. There are different variations: Complete (CAIS) , and Partial (PAIS). This condition has a variety of names and occurance rates..... is a type of intersex condition in which the person actually has a male/female mix at the genetic (sex chromosome) level and at the gonadal level. This is extremely rare and very few members of our group are in this situation. The old term for this situation is a hermaphrodite. Note however that a hermaphrodite, in the sense understood by most of society, is a purely mythical creature from ancient literature, one that supposedly has a complete working set of both male and female internal and external organs (such that the individual can, in theory, impregnate itself). This is not humanly possible. Unfortunately medicine took over this literary term in the days before genetics was understood and employed it as a medical term, to refer to these individuals who have both ovarian and testicular tissue internally (an ovo-testis) and who, as a result, can have ambiguous external genitalia...look it makes no sense i'm sending this to u'll or keep responding cause u need an excuse to be gay y do u need one? cause u have a conscience, who put it there? the questions u should be asking ur not asking...i know where i'm going the question is do u? what about those people with out body experiences some talk about fire some talk about glory...i mean there's so much proof but u can't see it...i'm out
You were the one who said that there is no such thing as a homo gene, its obvious you stuffed your entire leg in your mouth, there is in fact, naturally occurring chemo-biological processes that directly influence the behaviors of a child... The religiously ignorant, have this blocked cognition going on, they're neurological separatists, and seem to totally remove themselves from determinism... Okay, determinism, is the philosophy, that everything has a cause-effect relationship...
For example; a determinist will look at a homosexual person, and conclude that there were direct physiological and environmental nurturing factors which led to the behavior of a child, to wit; claiming themselves gay... just the same as a child who becomes heterosexual... yes, I know, anonymous, must be hard to believe that you too could have been gay... Well, if you don't believe this, then you must not believe that pregnant women don't have a direct influence on their fetus' physiological characteristics, to include neurological factors... here's an example...
"Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is an umbrella term used to describe fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and the less noticeable, but sometimes equally serious, fetal alcohol effects (FAE). FAS and FAE are permanent, and often devastating, birth-defect syndromes caused by maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_Alcohol_Syndrome
Ya' think that a child who is born of a parent who overdid their drinking might possibly have "different" challenges, in life, and perhaps, may make decisions differently than the mainstream... In short, a child who is shunned because of their physiological state of being (oh, no, I'm sure we don't pick out our mates based on physical looks), may look to "anyone" who cares for them, or provides them comfort, and thus bond...
A religionist doesn't see determinism, like yourself obviously, you see a child growing up, just like your bible... in a perfect "state", not formed, developed, changed, evolved, etc., no, no, the bible hit the earth at once in a perfect godly state, and so does every persons' body become perfect when they are born, no anamolies, or "differences"...
You justify homosexualism as being a Sin and Evil, because you feel that "everyone" has equal choices in life, and those who don't choose your way, are obviously "wrong"... To you, there are those who choose to live in "sin", and those who choose to "remove" themselves from "sin"... Well, isn't that special. So, dichotomous, in your view of the world... Totally removed from the possibility that our Natures are "determined" by physiological factors beyond our control, and environments in which we grow up in, that are for the most part of our early lives, beyond our control...
You just think, everyone is the same, because we all came from this dude Adam, and are all so Intelligently Designed, to include those with birth defects, and anomalies... I suppose you have to think this however, I mean... if you actually allowed for the potential that there are "legitimate" reasons for people to be "different" and behave "differently", or Individually, then there would be no "standard" in the "sin" pool... I mean, it just wouldn't be fair, for one person to be gay legitimately, and then curse someone to hell a pew over for being gay... Ah, the art of assimilation, and Absolute standards, there are never exceptions to the rules... everyone "must" be the exact same...
Well, since you don't have a deterministic view pre-birth, obviously, how do you determine those who are "evil" and "gay"?
Hmmmmm, "what makes someone gay?" Sodomy? Well, that makes all male heterosexuals who have committed that act with a female gay then... What other discriminator are you going to come up with? Oh, lets see, two same genders live together, well, studly, there are plenty of heterosexual same gender couples living together, I suppose that won't be the test... Oh, wait, I've got it... You believe that a male who has sex with another male is "gay", what about male rape victims? Oh, well... possibly, but only if the male enjoyed the rape?
Well, that kind of puts a wrench on women who are raped, and orgasm, I suppose they were willing rape victims. I don't know anonymous, why don't you just go ahead and define a homosexual for me that is Absolute... Perhaps, you will find a perfect Absolute definition, so tight knit, that I can't possibly find an exception, I mean, is that possible... by definition, its someone who is attracted to someone of the same gender, I mean, be a little more definitive, can that be a non-sexual attraction? Does it have to be a sexual attraction? Can two people emotionally bond, without sexual encounter, or do you believe that is sinful? Do you call this people gay, if they are of the same sex? Well, lets hear it from the peanut gallery, I'm sure you'll come up with something, don't disappoint me...
anonymous 12/08/2005 10:34 PM: "cause u have a conscience, who put it there?"
Who "gave" me a conscience, well, if I were born with a birth defect, would I have a conscience? No. However, you probably see a conscience as synonymous with "soul"... Well, hate to break it to you, I don't have a 'ghost' running around in my body, I know, its really alarming, I am totally animated without holy ghost puppet strings... I know, right from wrong, based on my "nurture", oh, remember that thing, where one grows up and learns what their Values are from their caregivers... Its true, a caregiver could teach a child that stealing is perfectly normal, and a child could grow up, and think everyone else in society just has it wrong... kind of like religious indoctrination...
anonymous 12/08/2005 10:34 PM: "the questions u should be asking ur not asking...i know where i'm going the question is do u? what about those people with out body experiences some talk about fire some talk about glory..."
Been there, had that experience, nothing but sheer bliss, kind of makes me want to be a gnostic with a pure pneuma which escaped the material hell my body is trapped within... Personally, I chalked my experiences up to nerulogical wet dreams, you know, the neurological processes which releases chemicals to regulate neurological homeostasis, yeah, that process... Why someone feels fire, and others don't, well, ask them, however, how do "you" know what they felt? I suppose, you'll have to take "their" words on "faith"... Kind of like the bible all over again, right...
anonymous 12/08/2005 10:34 PM: "i mean there's so much proof but u can't see it...i'm out"
There's so much proof about what? You are stuck on the 'big bang', homosexuals, and now NDEs, and the only topic you seem to have engaged in with any clarity is on the homosexual topic... What about the big bang, vs. creationism, I suppose you have proof that creationism is the true cosmological origins theory...
Well, here's a scary thought, regarding evolutionary biology, perhaps our brains formed first, and the exoskeleton later, and our nerve centers are all still growing and branching outward to the external parts of the body, "not" inward, "outward" stretching for "growth"... Well, like the expanding and contracting Universe, so is your life anonymous, you will stretch physiologically and cognitively for "x" years, and peak, and then, you will start regression, physiologically losing mass, and muscle tone, until you contract back to dotage... its just a matter of looking around your environment, but perhaps you need to peel blinders off, in order to see the systems/process symmetry between the varied fields of science... I know, you're out of here... well, its been good listening to yet, another person who has yet to "prove" anything... thanks... I'd suspect, like the male sperm, that it took a long time, to just hit the sweet spot, that causd our neurological synapses to explode in formation, however, if we were at the beginning again, I'm quite confident, your guy wouldn't have made the cut... have a great day...
If you're going to plagiarize people's work, at least provide the source for your information. Oh, wait, I forgot, Christianity is a plagiarized religion. Christian's just pick up bad habits from their imaginary big sky daddy and book of blunders called the Bible.
And Anonymous, when you stare at your Christmas tree, the wreath, or mistletoe this holiday season---remember, they were all symbols of early religious customs that Christianity stole and made their own.
Oh, and speaking of symbols and female reproductive organs, I'm sure you are familiar with the fish(ICHTHUS; vesica pisces).
<>< <><
Yep, another plagiarized symbol the Chrisitans stole from early religious customs. Did you know this religious symbol used to depict female genitalia? How many Christians know this fact? LOL
May Jealous bless you this winter solstice.
And your bible warns you not to call anyone a fool...you'll be in danger of hell fire. Ahh but you loosely toss out empty threats about burning...watch your back! If you believe your buybull to be in fact the word of a god, then you need to follow the letter.

Anonymous, you are a suspect. Church folks are the most sexually repressed and undercover sex addicts I have ever met. The reason is they try so hard to hide their nature to point that it’s laughable.

And with the homosexual thing, you homophobic loser fuck. Sounds like Priest Johns called you to confession one too many times. The homosexual gene has been PROVEN, being christain and all the words PROVEN or PROOF probably mean jack shit to you, but in this case it means you are wrong. Everything you say is wrong. And don't ever try to tell me anything about myself, I have a hard heart, I'm bitter? Go eat a dong you loser, you wouldn't know the first thing about me, or anyone else on here.
And cdmon, you're a smart dude, I enjoyed reading your comments, I don't think there was anything he said that you didn't address and prove wrong. Good work ;)
If fundies could only see how freaking pathetic their mind games are...totally stupid!!!!
Hmmm..you're wondering about you're faith, but let me guess, you're not wondering if you worship the correct God, right? Yes, you take your Jesus' existance on "Faith", but you somehow "know" you worship the right God. Just to be safe, you should be going to THOUSANDS of different churches weekly---one for every type/sect/denomination.
Fundonymous: "i would like to ask if you did experience God in your walk with Him when you were a Christian."
And I would like to ask---how do you "walk" with a non-material/non-physical entity? Please explain.
Fundonymous(asking): "and whether you did receive Him into your life as Lord and Saviour."
Yes, we "received" biblegod--the same way we "received" Santa Claus when we were kids, only, we grew up and now think like reasonable adults. Give it a try, won't you?
Fundonymous: "not trying to attack or disagree, but just questions i have."
You're guilty of both by association---this is an EX-christian website. If you want to "win" us back, provide evidence for a deity, then provide evidence that THAT deity is "Jesus". In other words, provide evidence that your belief is anything more than just that---a "BELIEF".
Waiting.
Simple. It is eternal. The rules of Science itself have no definable origin. Our human minds do not comprehend any true answers. Scientists think they comprehend by utilizing science's rules, but in the end, they actually know very little. They were given , without any definable origin, a set of rules to play by. In the end it kind of sounds like science works by undefinable magic, huh? Very ironic. For every scientific rule it seems there must exist an anti-rule to create it.
No matter how much we discover, it's only a small, easy-to-understand fraction of a concept that is beyond our ability to comprehend.
That is patently false. Science can only speak to what is objectively observable and testable. If something cannot be observed (e.g. some supernatural world), then science can neither appeal to it nor "debunk" it. It is simply not within the ken of scientific discourse (except, perhaps, as a tentative hypothesis, such as the idea of multiple causally disjoint universes).
No-name continues "This within itself seems pretty stupid."
I agree that it's a stupid characterization of science.
No-name: "What tells gravity how to work? What programmed its rules? They say matter is created from energy originating back to the big boom, but where did energy itself originate from? What told energy how to work and the rules it must follow? What exists beyond the reaches of space itself and within what did the big boom itself exist within? If the big boom created existence, then what lay before existence?"
While this is not strictly true, let's just say that none of these questions have any scientific explanation as yet. In other words, I'll reply to each of your questions with "I don't know". Just because I don't know it does not mean that you do. In fact, I posit that you are completely clueless. If you disagree, I look forward to hearing your lucid explanations, along with how you arrived at them.
No-name: "Scientists think they comprehend by utilizing science's rules, but in the end, they actually know very little. They were given , without any definable origin, a set of rules to play by. In the end it kind of sounds like science works by undefinable magic, huh? Very ironic."
Science operates on induction from observation. It has been the most spectacularly successful endeavor ever undertaken by humans. Is it perfect? Of course not. But at least it is generally self-correcting. This alone makes it infinitely more useful than religion.
No-name: "For every scientific rule it seems there must exist an anti-rule to create it."
Science does not purport to explain metaphysics, as it would be nothing but blue-sky conjecture without any possibility of confirmation or refutation. Religionists, on the other hand, continually embroider enormous and fantastic just-so stories that are completely unfounded and untestable.
No-name: "No matter how much we discover, it's only a small, easy-to-understand fraction of a concept that is beyond our ability to comprehend."
You do not know this. Nobody does.
Big "boom"??? lol! Are you callin' me fat?? = /
Basically anonymous I hate you. At the end of the day we all have a personal choice, almost wholly based upon external stimuli. What you choose to believe or disbelieve is based on the interaction between your genetic disposition I.e intelligence, and the external factors that you face throughout life. Hence born again christians, fallen christians, atheists turned christians etc. So... what about these people who are born, and live in a vegetative state througout the duration of thier lives. Could you imagine them finding god? They weren't even given a choice, this so called free-will that has become the safety net of christianity.
I personally find it difficult to believe in a god, but I will say that the basic moral guidelines of christianity are a good thing.
We cannot know our true capacity, whilst bound by falseity.
The LTG.
"They say matter is created from energy originating back to the big boom, but where did energy itself originate from?"

Hey Anon,
Oh gosh, I never thought about this before.
Surely this new revelation of yours must mean your god created the energy.
How could I have been so blind not to realize that something a million times more complex than energy itself, must have created it.
Oh gosh, now I have to stop my mind from wondering what created the much more complex god being instead.
What a quandry you've handed my soul
IDIOT!!

Pretty big words for a person who doesn't even know how to spell.
But regardless, isn't it amazing how the person with the double genitalia doesn't get to decide what gender to live with?
That's Christianity for you. They treat you as if you had a lobotomy and couldn't think or decide.
