I just found an interesting video on YouTube by askegg which chronicles his conversion from being a Christian to being an atheist. It’s about 8 minutes long, and contains simple text (in the form of points) set to music. I think it’s a very good example of the rational thinking that leads many people (myself included) to convert from theism to atheism. If anyone is wondering why atheists have converted and stopped believing in God, this is the video for you.

I rather liked this video. It wasn’t unlike my own experience.

I’ve been curious as to why it seems to be mostly Christians that find themselves converting though. I’m worried that it speaks more about christianity being flawed than our own argument being valid.

As such I’ve set up a poll to check this out (which you can find here: —> http://h-m-r.blogspot.com/2008/07/quiz-for-atheists.html

I’d appreciate your thoughts on this notion.

This video was well done, except for the Bible quotations. They were pulled out of context, and I think pointing out inconsistencies in the Bible is like pointing out politicians who lie. It is self-apparent, pointless and unproductive. I am an atheist who is looking for support and positivity. I am not interested in crying about religion.

The video really made me think about my own upbringing. I never could embrace religion, and as I got older and learned more, I realized that something inside me was telling me that I didn't have to "go along" with what others were telling me was "true". I want proof, not blind faith. When I question a religious person about something they can't explain, it seems the best answer they can come up with is "You must have faith." I have faith that a chair I've sat in a hundred times will continue to hold me up because of my previous experiences sitting in that chair. If it looks like it's about to fall apart, then I don't have much faith that it'll hold me up. That's what faith really is. It just boggles my mind that people won't take time to examine certain stories in the Bible to see how ridiculous they are, i.e. Noah's Ark. How crazy is that one? I have a strong moral character, empathy for others, a deep love of nature, love of my fellow man….I don't need a god to keep me in line. I do that very well on my own. And I don't kill in the name of atheism.
