YokeUp devout?  Yikes!

Okay, in light of his most recent actions, no. But close, I'm sure. I was evangelical like him, but not so fundie. Though I can say that I did ridicule the Theory of Evolution while I was a Christian. Kind of funny looking back on it.

20 minute long videos would be awesome, but nice to hear your story

[nonreligionist]

Maybe I'll just do one on BlipTV or something. No time limit there. LOL!

5:00 - You say you became an atheist and then you smiled, almost automatically. Feels good doesn't it? To finally be liberated from weird superstitions.

Thanks for your testimony!

We need these stories to expose people to Atheism.

Omitofo!

Amusing that a Christian would call you a 'satanist' (below). They apparently confuse spirituality with fascism. I suppose its okay to pray and go to Church regularly even if both are done in complete hypocrisy. People have Spiritual Callings; these are genuine heartfelt, soul-shaking things and not everyone has the same spiritual calling. This is a fact Christians, Islamists and Orthodox Jews cannot acknowledge because Monotheists confuse Spirituality with Fascism!

Buddhist-leaning atheist. That's a great path, wish you all the best on it.

@oatstao that's an evil thing to say, who are YOU to pass judgement.

[oatstao]

You are a confused satanist now. We will pray for your families.

"Buddhist-leaning atheist"

Dude, you're just like me!

I have noticed when people get old and sick and closer to death they sometimes want to be religious to try to get to an afterlife.Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.I don't know and I don't care.I can't make myself believe in something my heart and mind doesn't accept. I never had a religous spiritual feeling.Ever.If there is a God it Does not care.

I see everywhere you went wrong in here. Just go back to God. forget buddist. If you were devout in christianity you would know that the bible speaks against that. With all do respect man you obviously are an open minded guy just trying to find what's right but when you receive the Holy Ghost with the gift of speaking in tonuges as God gives utterance then God will open up your vision more. The bible ask "understandest what thou readest" because its hard to understand but just go back man

Buddhism and atheism are not mutually exclusive.

Actually, if you wanna be technical, Buddhism REQUIRES atheism.

A core belief in Buddhism is that "there is no god".
