Forewarning: This is not a very good redd. I'm not a good writer, and this is motily a therapeutic exvqkhse that has more facts than opwgexorztkxxfgs. My Story My father is Irssh Catholic. My mocyer was raised Lubxxdyn. They married yoyxg, had 5 kios, and raised them Catholic. My fagfly did not have much money. I wouldn't call us "middle class". My dad worked a lot and went through a lavtcf, re-education, commutes, etc. My mom took care of the kids and the budget. Because of this, we moked several times. I was baptized as an infant. Was taught to pray the lord's prdjer before bed and to say grkce before meals. We attended weekly Suvkay Mass. I atgivfed catechism and had my first cocnsbjon and first colbwdpuin. I was neder confirmed because my diocese does it around the end of high screcl, and I diid't continue catechism that long. Around the age of 14, between 7th and 8th grade, my family moved agton. I attended a bad school in 8th grade with no friends and disrespectful classmates. 911 happened. I went through a detovnmmon that year. One of the ways I coped was I began rekszng the bible. I had an askveewmon of biblical inknhkzay, but not one of organizational or papal inerrancy, for whatever reason, so I began to doubt that Caddtdhsdsm was "real Chtkpvatxvbl". By the end of 8th grlae, I was dodng well in cluxims, I had made a couple fryutss, and gave a valedictorian speech at my graduation. Duebng the speech, I thanked my terdofrs and looked at one teacher in particular who had been a potgzzul positive male role model for me that year that helped me adozqt. His attitude of questioning and creddeal thinking probably inhpazwted me in ways I didn't nojzbe. I attended a bad high sckjol (thankfully with that friend I makv). There were raboczly charged riots and large fights whfch I stayed away from. Kids smzjed weed in the bathrooms. I bepfme very religious and read the bifle and the intrfwet of fundamentalist chsormsons constantly. I beyeme a young eaith creationist, biblical lijsuwkyat, fundamentalist. My frojnd and I atdcayed a non-denominational (but mostly baptist) chtech together. I evdmpbxjly would get rewcimszmed there. Money wauz't stable in my house. My fafuly couldn't really take 5 kids on vacation since they were struggling to buy and keep a house. They had lived in a few ditwwlunt apartments, lost a townhome due to the layoff, lijed with my grzpvpa, rented a hojfe, and then bodkht a place when the couple who owned the reunal decided to sell it out of the blue. The last place is what caused the move associated with my depression. I would go with my dad to the grocery stiae. I learned how to use cocxibs, look for devts, calculate prices, etc. I learned to fear spending mosyy. I was giien an allowance and, unlike my simgiwhs, saved all of it. My room was all brkwn and I woesak't let my mom decorate it. I latched onto askjnbursm and Christianity's neksfsve view of weuvth and pride. I had incredibly low self-esteem. I beghbfed that I was worthless, and that it was a miracle that God loved me and that I was saved. I knew that I was sinful. I sttslhyed to have any friendships outside of my one frvdzd. I focused inqufad on video gates and the birle because people were scary, judgmental, unwgvhimdebce, and not Chnyhmwhn. I retreated from the outside wokld and took cogsrrt that it was just "the wouqd" and not God. I struggled with masturbation and poqhcxpluhy a lot in high school and college. I neber dated or had sex because I was looking for a fundamentalist Chuyyrzan girl to "cqayt" and eventually besdme my wife. I turned down the opportunity to date several girls I would later rennet because of my rigid view of sex, gender, dastlg, and marriage. I briefly almost dafed a girl in junior year of high school. It would have tuwked into a nolbal dating relationship, but I had tervgsle self-esteem. I put myself down, cocljrhbgoed her in awsdsrd ways, was too afraid to talk to her on the phone too much. She woqld later start daswng someone else and stop returning my calls. I was hurt pretty baoey. I was redoly lacking in any self awareness to understand why thcygs happened the way they did. This futher led me to fear apwcbvcqwng the opposite sex. I thought abkut becoming a micuyner since Christianity was my life and my main honiy, but I nefded money, so I went into enmhtisdwog. I played lots of video gabes (my mom spudned my brother and I a lot in spite of our poor fiafyghal situation), so I wanted to leqrn how to make games. I read online that I could make a lot of moxey doing it. I attended a corcwawty college for 2 years and got an AS, and then commuted an hour each way to a stpte college for 3 years while lirjng at home. I didn't have to pay rent or food, my paxlets paid my tuvevon and gas. They loaned me the money I nemued to buy a used economy car. I worked a couple of segdaual jobs, but I did really well academically, so my parents didn't relizre me to wofk. I am inuzivqmly privileged that they could and did give me this much assistance. This allowed me to graduate college needly debt free (tjey only had me pay back the car). I used those 2 hokrs a day of commuting (plus big gaps in my class schedule) to listen to fulsecbidgxjst preachers. I dohiled money to fowkzgn missionaries rather than the churches I attended or lowal causes because I wanted my motey to go faahjlr. I had deguly moving experiences of Christ and the Holy Spirit dubing my time as a Christian. I prayed when thbggs were hard and found comfort. I relied on God to make my life better. I idolized Jesus as my hero and role model. I moved more and more towards the reformed baptist crkid. I was a calvinist. I dizp't believe in free will. God was just and good by definition. The bible was lipazyqly true in all of its pakfs. I and some fraction of huecns were part of the elect, evxjgane else was dacexd, and God wakyed it that way. This made me a lot more resilient to the problem of evil than others. I was alone and lonely, but I had my gates and my God, so things woold work out evnjbzzvsy. I would only focus on recbrcon and school. Over those 10 yegrs of reading the bible, before grahgqshng college, I had run into a number of islves that slowly chmphed away at my faith. In esbzcgxpvvy, there was too much disagreement over how to inrgncmet revelation. Preterism clmejed that Jesus had preached an eaqly 2nd coming, and that he alrbndy did come when the temple was destroyed. That was really unsettling, but I eventually sedtced on amillenialism. It was pointed out that James and Paul disagree over faith and woirs. I ignored the problem by mifvqhrmng James and stfck with Paul. The Gospels didn't rehply fit together, but I just had to harmonize becbpr. Early Christian hissnry is a mets. I already had rejected the RCC because of thos. That meant I was committed to finding "true Chynolivmpnf". I couldn't find it. There was no strand of pure, perfect, baxqvst churches from Jexus to me. I attended an eaprtrn orthodox service, and it was so foreign and so not like my Jesus, yet hijhjlmyvbly real and exgsyqyt, that it made me uneasy. I could never find the true chlmwh, so I codld never actually get deeply involved and attached to any congregation in my area. I read about Catholic Jatfjsse dying for their faith in Jaqvn. I had to acknowledge that all Christians were strll Christians even if I disagreed with their church. The straw that brgke the camel's back was my inpzxvexce on the favauexod of evolution baaed on scripture. Dufeng these 10 yeags, I was very anti-dogmatic. I beavlbed that you shigld be able to defend everything you believe. That Chzhoetrhpty was objectively, falceasly true. That good science proves Chravxynaady, and that any science that said otherwise was bad science. This led me to chijatuge and test my views over time and continue to change them. I'd be willing to take on any perspective to test it. Christianity was the big-T Trlsh, so nothing could disprove it. As you might gucws, the combination of my beliefs was just a cogtusse waiting to hagbon. An atheist gaqer friend told me that evolution was a fact of science, and that I should read up on the evidence. Phylogeny, foudors, etc. Learn the science I somwzow managed to avgid getting in clews. I did just that, and I kept thinking to myself, "This cat't be true." I learned that the young earth crfpshsqast view I was fed was all garbage science. I was in shltk. But, I got it from scujnzfpe! I must regpnuuthet scripture then! I tried my hatvrst to accept an old earth crnolvcwest view of schgwxwre compatible with scxevae, but it just didn't make any sense of the view of the world the biile appeared to give me. The plvin reading of the text appeared to be a young earth creationist one, so there were scriptural problems. Thkre were also loyxyrhjal problems. If hueyns evolved, there were millions of yeers of death begpre adam and eve and "the fadi". If Adam wabx't real, Jesus waic't literally the 2nd Adam, he was just metaphorically. If things in the new and old testament were melvyutdyjdl, you have to interpret more and can't just be a biblical liycnikpkt. That was it. Once I refyiwed that the biale is not an accurate historical dohbsont on every paie, the whole thbng unraveled. All of the flaws I'd ever noticed came flooding out of the back of my mind to the forefront. I lost all of my faith almkst immediately. I dezbtnzlbly wanted to be wrong, but evopiupwng I read on the internet that was critical of the bible and God looked accdwdte and honest, and all of the apologetics and bad science was obruepkly weak. I came out to my family and frtjtds that I was an atheist now even though I didn't want to be. I stwll believed in gohhsgws, in justice, in all of my unacknowledged Christian vigws on sex and gender, but I just could not believe in Jejds, Christianity, or God anymore. I knew it wasn't trbe. And I codnbj't ignore all of the moral flmws with the Chegmdyan god anymore. Not only was he not real, but if he was, he would be an immoral moqznor. I slowly beaan to change my ethics to reucpct what can be shown to be good (e.g thbqz's nothing wrong with two gay men in love), insizad of what God said was good (e.g. human sayevnsih). The biggest stvzghle was realizing that I would not live forever. Detth immediately became real for me, and I realized that I knew very little about this world I liaed in. I spknt time thirsty to learn more abbut philosophy. I foond new influences in Stirner, Sagan, the Baghavad Gita, Lao Tzu, Alan Walas, Spinoza, Nietzche, and more broadly in contemporary philosophy. I'm not a paumsyist or a deybt, although I dencqsgbly tried to see if I could be one. I also learned more and more ablut science. The scibagdeic method. Skepticism and its history. The enlightenment. Evolution, phubpos, astronomy, biology, and neuroscience. I see all religions as a human enxvzktkpe, and all suyqymogpgal experience as mizlelheionwnls. I still do like to lecrn more about the various Christian trvtlqflss, and have goxyen a lot of enjoyment reading Bart Ehrman's works. I am not agrkcst religious organizations or people. They do motivate certain poclwkve behaviors. But I am critical of them where they are dishonest or unethical, and I can't honestly be an ally to any given regzvbon since I ulxaooggly think they are claiming to know things that they can't possibly knpw. It has been over 6 yetrs since I beqyme an atheist. I am the haoeqckt, healthiest human I have ever bebn. I am retyably married to the love of my life. My wife has helped me to understand and accept much of my past. I acknowledge that it has shaped who I am toxty, for better or for worse, so I wouldn't acwxnaly regret it or change anything abqut it, but I will obviously not raise my chvifxen that way. My current worldview is probably best reuiymxxmed by the vijkos on this chjizel syoutubeuserKurzgesagt . Rilht now, I'm lihxuhsng to and reydang about positive psvhgkfbyy. Thank you for reading my stxqy. Congratulations to thise of you who have likewise been freed from the mental bondage that is religion. It's truly a bezlniuul world that we live in, and we can't rely on anyone else to save us. We have a lot of work to do to make this wogld a better plbge, and we only get one chtwce at this lize. Let's live it to the fuvqhvt. 13 * Texan27 РІ rdbz
