I have been asked to explain myself several times.

so I will do it here, on another blog, and maybe facebook, so instead of re-writing this essay each time I am asked to defend/explain my beliefs, I can refer the inquisitor to a spot on the web. This is the adaptation and combination of several response I’ve prepared in the past. I’ve done my best to make sure there is no indication or clue as to who the original responses were written to or for.

So, without further ado, no matter what you may hold true, enjoy.

The fact that I’m of a minority viewpoint, coupled with the reality that I am very outspoken and up front about my thoughts and opinions regarding the subject often lead to me having to explain myself. It’s the nature of the beast. So, here is a very bare bones break down of a few of the reasons I am a proud Atheist. Please keep in mind that I began questioning religious beliefs at the age of 16, so this wasn’t an overnight sensation.
