Leaving Christianity: Deconversion story from Christianity to Atheism Part 1

The following video outlines my journey from christianity to Atheism. I feel that telling my deconversion story might be useful especially as a black/african american atheist. It is a story you don't usually hear about. Part one talks about how I became a Christian and came to know Jesus as a child. Hope this will be some use to you. enjoy

Hey, thank you. I'm with you on the emotional exodus from faith. I wasn't moved away from my former fundamentalist mindset by clever arguments, probably because those arguments only triggered a sort of apologetic response, guided by reading various books that teach Christian responses. The last day I read my bible (which was my usual morning "quiet" practice, with prayer), I just admitted to god this, "sorry, this just isn't enough for my life." Work out your own salvation. It is done!

brave to tell your story man. Hope part 2 has a happy ending. By that I hope it doesn't end with you being osticized.

I am very proud of this man. Atheism is wonderful and most never escape the oppression of organized religion.

ALTHOUGH I'M A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment or suffering. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G. Ranganathan (B.A. theology/biology)

SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE could not have sustained itself eternally because of entropy (even in an open system). Einstein confirmed that space, matter, and time had a beginning! That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)
