The feeling of liberation having finally deconstructed my christian fundamentalist upbring is amazing. I feels as good as when I thought I was born-again as a child, but this time, I KNOW it's for real It so nice to actually -KNOW-. I know there isn't much meat to this post, but I've been feeling driven to shouting my new found agnosticism off rooftops.
i know what you mean, i always deep down knew i wasn't a christian, i started questioning it, you know the bible, the whole bullshit creationism kent hovind deal, all of it. i went through great stress but now i don't think i'll ever go back.
When we are young what choice do we have. We follow blindly what they teach us, but then is comes a time when one is supposed to see the light finally. I saw.
I admit it sounds silly, which is probably why I'm not on a roof as we speak. But having freed myself from so much dogama and blatant blind stupidity, I am a much happier individual.
Why not.. shouting ones understanding that we are agnorant and have a long path ahead of us is far braver than shouting some prepacked tripe. We all know what socrates said do we not? That socrates was the wisest of all men for he knew he knew nothing. To admit error/ignornace without emotioanal overtones is the first step to undersanding and wisdom. And it is also the core philosophy of accurate scientific procedure. 3 cheers for ithropooatyou Occam
