A guy that goes by the name Chrispy Paul, (probably a nickname) who has his own blog, wrote a great post yesterday that is catching a lot of peoples attention on reddit. The post is titled Religion and Me: A Photo Essay and it is nothing short of amazing.
I've read a fair share of "coming out" stories, but nothing quite like this. The whole post is compiled of photos from the internet that goes along perfectly with his journey of becoming an atheist.
For those of you who are to lazy to click on the link to his blog, I'd like to share with you my two favorite passages from his post.
Here is the first one:
...I concluded that praying was not as productive as I had been lead to believe. I had realized that I was brainwashed, that everything I had been told about God; His love, His commandments, His hatred of human nature, His stories that only a child should believe, yet all the adults were swearing by, were all falsified and fabricated. I realized that religion is just a pervasive venom we were being spoon-fed by irresponsible adults.
And this one was by far my favorite:
To me, sin is just an invented sickness designed to sell you a fake cure, a pill you could swallow whole, using your code of morals as the liquid chaser. The name of that cure is Religion, and along with it's imaginary illness, Sin; the duo write the greatest prescription for permission to hate that the world has ever seen.If you are reading this hopefully you have time to check out his post. If you didn't realize I linked his post above I'll link it again here.
To end on a humorous note, here is a fairly old commercial with good old Chuck Norris giving a roundhouse kick to separation of Church and State:
