I was never a believer. I was lucky to have parents that let me think, and find out what is was to believe, or not believe.They were never really religious so I was lucky to not have religion shoved down my throught.

Back in the day it was never a problem about my dis-belief because it really never came up. But as I grew older I had the privelige of learning about Atheism from books like the God delusion From Richard Dawkins, God is not great, by Christopher Hitchens. Those experiences gave me a very good understang of to what non-belief really meant, and the horrors that have been done to those that didn't believe.

Then came the days of places that hade lecturs, and speeches about Atheism. That was fine for a while. But I started to find some vids from people that were Atheists, and they were more about Science, and physics, and understanding the universe.

Though I still like clips about Atheism, the ones I like most are the ones their shoving aside their religious beliefs, and spent their time discussion about Sciehce and under standing. Those are the ones that I not only value most, but they are the ones that make me think. Nothing I love better than learning new shit.

This is one of my favorite clips. and one of my favorite lines in this discussion was Neil tells Richard that " I will never require you to believe anything".

I know this vid is long, but there is some gold points made here. I hope you may take the time to watch it.

We were taken to an evangelical Baptist Church, 3-4 times a week, til I was old/stubborn enough to refuse. My late brother was so religious, that he and four other couples started their own church and Bible-homeschooled their kids, all the way through. My remaining brother is very religious as well: Franklin Graham is his hero. Ugh.
It turns out that my dad is agnostic but thinks he ‘should’ believe in ‘something’. So he still attends church.
Here in the South, all this is par.

I love listening to Neil on Star Talk radio.

That is one of my favorites as well.

When I was child, religion was never a thing in my home, thankfully. As an adult, I have sought the Lord three times over the years. That motherfucker either does not exist or does not pick up the phone. So, fuck him and the camel he rode in on.

The amount of carnage that religion creates is beyond amazing, it's awful.
