Hi! My name is James. I had spent my whole life up to my 15th birthday believing whole-heartedly in every word of Christian teaching: creationism, the divinity of Jesus, etc. Then I started to want to disprove what I didn't believe in --to give myself reason to believe in what I believed in . . .
This led to me doing ALOT of research into evolution, the 'big bang,' atheism, etc. I became interested in disproving them all. A year later, after a year of the aforementioned research into books and websites, I confronted my pastor who practically said "don't ask questions like that." I was shocked and stopped going to church that moment.
A few months later I resolved to throw all this 'God' nonsense out the window and convert to Deism. (all without the knowledge of my parents of course) But there too I saw flaws and no more than two years ago I became an atheist. I'm now 18 and my parents don't know still. I'm afraid of making my mom cry.
The reason I'm on this website is fortify and test all my assumptions to back-up my reasons for thinking what I do. Feel free to question.
