I was raised a Presbyterian and later in life converted to RC and then actually read the Bible, read the English version of the Koran and read the book of Mormons and as a result, became what I am today, a dyed in the wool anti-theist. NOT an atheist, an anti-theist. The relief of not believing all the biblical bullshit any more is liberating. Its very simple. We are born. we live, we die. That's it. There is no invisible man in the sky, no heaven, no paradise, no miracles. There is mystery, but isn't that what life is? One big mystery.
