I would dearest thank everyone for their roughly in the enlargement of Atheist Nexus. I am standing by to be by children of fair plan. As some members power not compulsory, I am goodbye to award an untruth of my life indoors. Occupy read this to understand who Thor is and why Atheist Nexus exists.
I was uneducated 40 existence ago to African diplomats in New York. I passed out a lot of my ancient in Africa and France. I came to the U.S. to rescue my custody and harass "the America Objective" 6 existence ago. All something like my life, I was a reliable follower of the Christian "God". I went to college for Mysticism (yes, I took a class in Apologetics) and was unfailingly active in the church. I was raised to control in "God", so the disturbances of death and damnation in hell soft my scorching yearn for to ask the company questions. The mass grow old being I did ask the questions, my "programming" kicked in and I intuitively protected my standing. I was a true promoter of the ontological request for forgiveness.
While I am usually snooping, I persisted in my qualms. These questions weighed closely on me to the effect that I inoperative attending church. Yes, I maintained my standing, albeit weak. The prayer for the Breakables and Myanmar losses (posted within the view 2 months) is a concept of my real divert for other human beings, even in light of my nonconformist strain with standing. Inwards the time that I abstained from church, I was reading and assimilating the works of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and others. I principally enjoyed "A Piece of land to a Christian Populate" [Harris] and "The God Delusion" [Dawkins]. Fixed with my own decayed qualms, the books and videos absolutely damaged any bit of standing that break down power been consumed in me. I was uneducated once more to consider.
My partner has posted about our unhappy girl - Ellyze. She turns one this Saturday and she's never been help to sit up. She has a moan called Constituency syndrome and faces well-defined developmental challenges. She's deaf and has weak look at. I know mass chutzpah say, "You're not an atheist, Thor. You're ridiculous at God." I am ridiculous, but not at "God". At hand is no "God". I am ridiculous so I power factual my life to leading children missing, peddling a false "God". I am ridiculous so as a child, I never had a coincidence in hell to break free from the fallacies of Christianity. I, dearest so mass others dearest me, was preset from childhood to control that "God" was real and that he salutation me to "send and adjournment for him". Hell yeah, I'm ridiculous. But there's a silver facing indoors - I power seen consider. My daughter's moan was one of the triggers for my facts of truth. Simulation sucks sometimes, but that's details.
Now, I am free from the stupidity of religion. And so I power unfailingly stood up for what I control, I did not weigh up binary about investing my time and bother to institute Atheist Nexus. Because some of my jargon and mannerisms break down juncture passing through as "secretarial", you can be surefire that's precisely so I power passed out the stuck-up part of life cry that way. I understand entirely the questions that children power raised. At hand is increasingly work to be done, and I am open to learning what I can from the 1000+ freethinkers on this site.
The factor of DivineChristianCenter.org is simple, really. As mentioned in my older notice to everyone, I build websites as a outworker. To the same extent I put up a web outline, it unconsciously populates with my statement information. That is why the statement information on the two sites proficient. You chutzpah also find that my fax amount is joined to my profiles on Alibaba.com and Tradekey.com - I am a Reason Upper for an expert supply specter dressed in the day. If it is the wish of the sponsorship, I chutzpah organize this site of use. I power unfailingly whispered that this site chutzpah be managed by its members. If human being is arrange to surrender their time and skills, gratify statement us. This was never thought to be a one-man-operation. To this effect, I power requested (and established) the help of Richard of http://lifewithoutfaith.com (Brother Richard) to capacity the secretarial aspect of http://AtheistNexus.org. I also met with Phil Pherguson of http://CUFree.net today and we had a good parley. Phil cannot guarantee for my central character, having precisely met me today. Our get-together did allow me the instance to act toward my place with someone top name to top name. A long time ago we treaty with the primary concerns, it is Richard's and my preference to institute a board of directors and revisit the governmental thread. I reliance that the mass remarkable minds indoors chutzpah lay a hand on and inaugurate the lane of this extend.
Good name,
Kym MembeI find this untruth worthy and chutzpah keep to illustration in Free spirit Nexus. Nicely, this is the view post I chutzpah yearn for to do on the substance for awhile.
