Alphacause, your welcome! I listened to the whole thing through right away. It drew me to listen. I identified with her strongly with the experiences she had with her family, with catholism, mormonism. I'm Jewish, but I guess all religions have the same essense so that I could also identify.

magnusmentis, thank you so much for posting this entire talk of Julia Sweeney's. I have read and watched videos for years about the rational side of atheism and naturalism, which are replete with mostly logic arguments and evidence. I have completely ignored the emotional side of the journey from theism to atheism, which is just as important. Julia Sweeney has illuminated that very well. Thanks for sharing it with the YouTube community.

Well, Pope Benedict did abolish limbo (the ethereal realm where unbaptized babies spend eternity for original sin) back in '07. They're on the right track.

Next comes original sin, then transubstantiation, hell, heaven, angels, saints, prophets, the holy spirit, Jesus, and God.

@virumoz Wow I love double entendres (& I like to think I usually get them) but I totally missed that!!!

You know, I think some of my family members should listen to this, just because it goes through the way I became an atheist so very well. Even that whole spaz episode after thinking 'there is no God'. What a priceless story!

You know, I think few fundamentalists would remain so ardently annoyed at atheists if they heard this.

Thanks for the post. Richard Dawkins mentioned Ms. Sweeney in his lecture in Virginia in 2006 (which you can find here on YouTube) and this has certainly been a pleasure to listen to!

This is what I want from people talking about their understanding of their lives. It's not preachy, it's not trying to force people and it's what (imo) most of the people in the world go through. It was shown in such a humorous way that it was drawing me in rather than grate on me. Really appreciate this being up here.
