Atheists

Nightline Online: Take the Blasphemy Challenge
Could blasphemy really lead to eternal damnation? Click here to view.

For the last eleven years I have been submerged body and soul in a spiritual way of life. Recently, I found myself moving away from that and into another place. I'm not afraid. I value and use everything I've learned over the past years. I value the relationships I made though some have fallen by the way side. Life is a process and I see this change as just another turning point in my life, another opportunity to let go. I'm not upset, afraid or confused. Judge me if you must but I'm OK.

Being raised with a religious background I gave up on religion itself a long time ago. I have no desire to be affiliated with any religion or the bible. I don't mind people who value a religion I just chose not too par take on any level for any reason.

I don't know if I'm an Atheist. I never considered myself one but that may have been because I accepted the whole higher power concept. For today, I don't feel a need to define my beliefs or lack there of. I continue to take my feelings as they come and remain open to change.

*Thank you J.S. for the links. I viewed them all.

i was born & raised jewish, and while i'm not denouncing my cultural faith, i do not believe in god. i do see religion as the root cause of many serious problems in the world. i don't care what other people do, so long as it doesn't infringe upon my own rights & life.

i thought it was interesting that everyone in the video clip who denounced god was a christian. where were the jews, muslims, et al who have become non-believers?

Hey Liz,

If you're at all interested we (Christians) actually have a blog on the Blasphemy Challenge here.

You may disagree with us but if you read some of the stuff that has come out of the Rational Response Squad... well, it would make an atheist think twice before they join this challenge.

Just my two cents,

Frank

Thanks Frank- I am interested and I'm not calling myself an atheist YET so I'm far from taking the Blasphemy Challenge. :)
