Truthseekers

This is the short version of my own personal search for truth and my transition from fundamentalist christianity to atheism.

People are theists or atheists for a variety of different reasons - good and bad, rational and irrational. But when I took the time to talk to atheists, I realized that most of them were atheists because they wanted to believe in reality. They cared about the truth and would rather believe the truth, however difficult, than a delusion, however easy.

After talking to my fellow christians I realized that we weren't behaving like people who cared about the truth. I decided that the truth was something worth knowing, went looking for it, and pretty soon became an atheist myself.

Nobody can (or should pretend) to tell you what to believe. But I do encourage you to genuinely look for reality.

Thanks to these amazing people who contributed to the video (in order of appearance):

OH MAN this video made me cry. I wish I could share this on my facebook page. It tells so beautifully WHY I am an atheist. It's gentle, logical, complete and inarguable. I love TRUTH beyond all else. One of the first things I knew about myself was that I abhorred a lie. Yet I was also a fundamental Christian for 30 some years. I wish I didn't have to keep my nonbelief secret. Id lose work and friends. I already have. Thank you for your bravery and video work!

Good to hear that people can actually shake off their delusions with enough exposure to clear thinking... sometimes :-)
