An atheist thread

[Seth R.]

I think there are atheists here, and wanted to start a discussion about life as an atheist after being in TWI. My reasoning behind becoming an atheist is entirely VPW's fault, as he said either the whole bible is the written revealed word of god or none of it is. So I took that challenge and have found it to be a great and powerful place to be.

I'm wondering if anyone will join me in discussing no longer having faith, what inspires you now, and how do you confront the old mode of cult thinking. There is so much to talk about outside the word.
How do you fill your time, what are you reading currently, any thing to report about your observations of life? I don't expect much traffic to this thread.

Might not this be better in the Matters of Faith > Atheist thread?

I understand how you could come to that conclusion and there is a forum in doctrinal. 

My main comment is, why should we believe or trust anything VPW said?

Please don't allow his words to continue to have any say over your current life. I am thankful for all of us who have found freedom outside of TWI.

Because it isn't a matter of faith, atheism has nothing to do with faith. But I suppose I didn't think it was a matter of faith, but I understand how there is an atheist thread I overlooked in the matters of faith section.
