Why am I an Athiest

How did i become an Atheist

 It was not a fast decision, it took me ten years on a quest,,,I read a lot, 

 I want people to know that Atheists do not take their atheism lightly,,, this is quite a decision to go against the  majority in such a strong cultural public way...we are at the mercy of the majority. 

 People have hated me for this belief. They feel very threatened, I,, in my belief destroy the lifetime of belief they have had. Their belief in heaven,,no one wants to think of themselves as just a piece of meat... Takes away our being special.

 My belief  erases all the centuries of religion and hope and prayer and pomp that they have believed in all their lives.

I went on a ten year quest for God,, I went looking for god and did not find him. He did not exist for me after this quest.  

 I found much false dogma, most of it did not concern me as a woman,,, 

All religions are for men, by men. I think this was slammed home within one story I read about,,

 In the last century in Ireland if a woman refused her husband sex it was considered a sin, her soul was going to go to hell for refusing, So most women had huge families,, when your poor not much is fun, so sex is free and fun or a duty.. They had large families,, and their bodies worn out by childbirth they got into trouble and  situations arose where it was her life or the child.. 

The priest was called and the child was always saved,,she was a throw away,, I do not know the rational for this action, but I assume the priests  felt they were saving the baby Jesus all over again,,,, tough luck,, to get pregnant in your 40's most women did not survive at that time and pregnancy at that age was a death certificate. 

Was this  policy written by a man for men, or from a woman's point of view, To always save the child, the man's child.?

There is no god here for me... I do not believe I was born with sin either.  I was a baby,, I take no ones mistakes on my shoulders. Even today I am without sin,,,of course sin is cultural,,, what is a sin for you, is not a sin for some other  person in some other  country or for me.

Sin is cultural.  Taboos are cultural

 I think that made a difference in how I looked at things, all religion is by man for men;

I do not hate religion, I feel people are immature and still believe in Santa Claus who is going to save them.. from death our greatest fear , and we have not been able to conquer it. We all know it is coming and none of us want it,, heaven makes the acceptance of death easier to bear...

  I see life in a different way than most, I see woman who have been slaves for all of time, picking up the pieces, when you guys decided to tear apart our world because of your hunting testosterone run amuck...WAR, which kills off the many and makes the few rich,and others glory, that is another aspect of war we have to think about. Where are you on that spectrum.

So you can see why I do not believe in any religion today. I think I made myself very clear and please do not think I in any way shape or form believe in an invisible thing who watches my every move,,,unless you refer to NSA with their Back Scatter cameras.

 I think everyone has gotten religion mixed up with NSA and targeting...and if I chant to this invisible god , he will fulfill my every wish.  I wonder how many prayers arise from humanity to him every day... He must be overwhelmed.

Not my bag,,,sorry but you do what you like to make you happy , far be it from me to dissuade you of it... you keep your little invisible friend,, I am a realist that is solid and I can touch it,,, that to me is real..

That is why I am an atheist,  religion is a guy thing for control,,sound familiar?  ,bjg
