Ray is so damn convincing that my outlook on life has almost fallen apart... but you've saved it at the very last minute.

Haha, glad I could help!

question: Do you belive in God(s) or the devil? "Of course not. I am neither that ignorant nor that stupid. I'll leave that belief to the slaves of our species." -Varg Vikernes (Burzum)

I been an Atheist all my life, and was raised in a non-religious family, and the more i seen of religion the more confident i become that Atheism is the right thing. And i dont understand how anyone can belive in sutch make no sense fairy tale crap as religions are.

It's just frustrating - from my point of view - for atheists... and probably for believers as well. You can't convince a Christian that there's no God, it's just impossible possibly offensive as well. That's not true. I've been raised in a Christian household, and I'm sure many other atheists were as well. I firmly believed in God until I began asking questions and wondering about my beliefs. Matt Dillahunty (the host of The Atheist Experience) was actually was training to become a Baptist minister when he became an atheist. It may not happen all of the time, but people's minds do change, and I think watching programs like that have helped me develop my own thoughts and beliefs as well.

I guess I expressed myself unclearly. I don't think it's a bad thing but statistically it doesn't work. People like you are in the minority. The debates are needful, that's for sure, but I can't watch them. The lack of understanding between the sides is so annoying.
Actually I also believed in God when I was a kid. My parents didn't inculcate me with catholic faith, but my grandma did so. I was reading a lot at that time though, especially Stanislaw Lem's books. He helped me with developing an atheistic outlook on life and finding my own answers. Brilliant writer by the way.
