Thank You guys! When I left the Church I basically cut off all ties except my family (only because I didn't yet know that i should have done that too) because I didn't want any social pressure at all to come back. And yes people thought I was possessed or I was faking all along or that I must be evil. Of course, me continually talking to them would be like a jew fraternizing with a natzi. they think i should go to hell and burn forever and i disagree! Stefan's arguements convinced me because I had a mind set that I want the truth no matter what and that's what both parties have to have going into a debate I think. If both can't agree upon that then don't even bother argueing.

Hello FDR! A few months ago I was Christian Missionary newly commissioned to go to Belgium for two years to teach people about how great my religion was. I was surfing the tubes one day and came across FDR. The very first video I ever saw was Stefs proof's against God. That video slapped me in the face and dragged my brain down one wall and up another. After I watched it once, I watched it two more times. I was faced with an obvious choice that Stefan presented in his video, either I except his logic and reason or I go back to my delusion. Well, there was no way I could actually go back. I knew for certain that the logic was too well layed out and air tight. I was very moved by Stefan's points and knew I had an obligation to reality and to my personal well being to leave the religious nonsense behind. The reasoning helped me make the leap from questioning christian to confirmed empirical driven atheist. This was a long leap due to the depth of involvment I was in inside the church. And FDR has helped every step of the way. I've lost so many friends and the community of a church it is truly tragic to feel so detested when just months ago I was cheered and respected by hundreds and hundreds. I am deeply happy to have found FDR because it raised me out of my delusion, and so elegantly fit with my already deep Anarchist convictions (though of course beleiving in a God is actually anti anarchic). I'm certain right now I'd be stuck in Belgium for two years going around trying to convince people to become a religious psychopath like me. Right now I'm trying to get out of my debt I am in for the travelling expenses as a missionary. But as I become more finacially stable I will increase my support more for this show as my life has literally been saved in all practical senses from the tragedy of living to die. Thank You Stefan and Thank You FDR and community!
