Women who have left a religion, why

[IrishCawfee]

And how has it changed your life?

Thank you.

Yes, the old "Man in the Sky" straw-man. Which I never once believed in, even as a child.

I did, because I was taught to. But the "priests" of atheism clearly believed in an external-to-themselves higher power - the Church!

The church performed the devil role. They never even noticed they put themselves in the god role in their own heads (those darned Testicles of Objectivity again).

He would scoff at the notion of "we're all god's children" and never realised that it means we're all human. Fully human, with everyone having human consciousnesses that are no more or less real than our own. Result: major empathy deficit. He can't meaningfully connect with anyone unless they express themselves in his words.
