About Me:
 
ATHEIST (n.): one without a belief in, or one who lacks a belief in, the existence of a god or gods.

I'm a 29 year old guy, happily married (to youtuber 'alteredlabel') with two cats, one son and a tank of tropical fish.

I'm a professional freelance software developer and make my living working with and for my various clients around the world (although I work largely from home - this should explain the 13k+ videos that I've watched on YouTube on this account!).

I'm a freethinker, a humanist, a skeptic and a rationalist and I deconverted from Fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity in 2007 after a process that took about nine months and involved a substantial existential crisis and for all practical purposes, estrangement from some extremely fundamentalist members of my family and my previous fundamentalist friends. None of these people wish to discuss, talk, debate, reason or rationalise anything with me. They like their faith to be kept safe, in a jar, by their bedside (unless they're proslyetising, of course).

I am not a scientist and have not been published in any journals, although I work with scientists and some of the world's leading scientific companies.

good videos , I liked your story , I remember prayers at my school when i was growing up, Even teachers used to tell them that we have a soul and it is scientifically proven but when i researched , there is no proof of it , It was failed experiment , Its a shame that children are taught this way

Yep - Good points raised by both of us, but I have to agree with you on this one, it was a good political decision to abolish the EMA, maybe we can restore the hard working mindset that the UK once had - but by the looks of it my generation is doomed, nothing more than empty minded zombies raised on MTV and Facebook... You win this one sir! Maybe we will meet again on YouTube under different circumstances ;)

Your deconversion history is similar to mine, probably echoes that of countless awakened rationals.

Thanks for the message, D. Very nice of you to take the time to write a note. Hope that you'll get back to making videos sometime soon.

You can't deconvert you were never converted in the first place... You can say you don't believe, but if you were a child of God, you always will be.. You never were a child of God is the truth of it!

Thanks for sharing your life experiences. It has been a long journey for me throughout my life to come to the conclusions you are posting. Stopped going to church quite a few years ago (How could my beliefs be better than all the other ones of the world) ( and how could such heinous acts be done because of one's religion). I loved the last few minutes of part 5 of your series. :) thanks for being brave.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me today. You asked what was my decision in moving from Catholicism to the Watchtower. I began to notice, very early in my Catholic upbringing, that the Catholic church contradicted many of the bible's teachings. This didn't sit well with me
