I have been a Christian for nearly 20 years.
And I have spent much of that time studying the faith.
My motivation has been to overcome personal doubts.
Knowledge is said to dissipate doubts, right?
I have not found that to be the case, personally.
Doubts continue to plague my mind.
Do you know what that’s like?
I can no longer put up pretenses.
Now is the time for me to come clean:
God does not exist!
All the theistic arguments are flawed.
Personally, I don’t think I ever believed them.
Reality is, we are alone in this universe.
It is a sad fact, but we must face it.
Life is too precious to waste on religion.
For those who continue to believe, I wish you the best.
Outstanding claims require outstanding evidence, however.
Ontological commitments must be rationally based.
Living as if God existed is not something I can do anymore.
So I say sayonara to God, and good night to you. It’s been fun.

Since I didn’t spot this till April 2nd, I figured someone hacked your WordPress account. Its good to know a) you’re still in the fold b) you haven’t been hacked and c) you have a sense of humor.

It was all in good humor. Not only did I categorize it under “Fun” to make sure no one took it seriously, but if you look at the first letter of each sentence on the left, it spells out “I AM KIDDING APRIL FOOLS.”

I have to say, it seemed too unbelievable, and I’d already twigged it was 1 April, so you didn’t have me fooled. Good try though 🙂
