I am an Atheist.Nothing made me lose faith in an instant. It was a slow process of one realization after another, one fallacy after another, one absurdity after another (these are all based on my experience and perspective, of course). I eventually could not hold on any longer and had to let it go. Then life started to become fuller, more enjoyable, and enlightening. I felt freer and more capable of making a positive impact on the world around me.
I ended up starting down that path because I was told by my parents (who are very much faithful) were going to hell because of my disbelieve.
I came to realize that the only reason we “lived for god” was to avoid an eternity in hell. I realized I was a hostage, forced to live a life I did not choose and that I did not want. I searched for answers, which came quite easily. Now I have a bit of peace knowing that there isn’t anyone telling me to love him “or else”.I am proud of myself for being what or who really I am.I always find the necessity to have a platform for people like me.Which is CEMB. I appreciate their great work towards peoples fundamental rights.
