Reviews For: Becoming an Atheist

I am not about to tell you that you are wrong. I think that I have had a lot of the similar experiences that you have had. The Christainity that we grew up with is wrong, and they discourage using your brain. If you stop and think on a lot of the things they taught you, there are many paradoxes. I also don't like the idea of being ruled by fear.

I went to church every Sunday. I didn't do the Bible school thing, because I wasn't allowed out at night. Anyway, when I got old enough to understand the sermons and the things that the teachers there tried to teach me, I quit going. How oculd a loving god disown and send those to Hell who were not baptized or did not believe in this particular reliion. What about the Buddists.

Another thing had to do with all the Christian holidays were placed to mask Wiccan holidays. It makes everything seems so much more fake.

Anyway, this misses the point of the essay you have written. I think it is a nice thoughtful piece on your part.

You do have a minor grammar problem with the use of the word 'who'. If who is a direct object, it is whom. I had fun with sentence diagrams in school, and I have studied several foreign languages. So, it usually comes easily to me on this, and I notice it.

I think it has meaning. It's a path through the thought process that lead you to who you are today. You sound like you have that aspect of your life figured out.

It's interesting being an agnostic/atheist in today's world. I've found it's just easier to bow your head during grace, and argue political aspects with logic, not religion.

One recommendation, though: Don't tell your family unless you're sure it's the right idea. My family is full of three agnostics and one Jehovah's Witness, and that isn't a problem, but I'm also bi, and I would never, ever, ever tell my family that. My mom already worries about me going to hell, there's no reason to put her through that. They'll be happier thinking that they'll see you in heaven.

I always thought there should just be a nonfiction part of the sight...

Anyway, It was hard for me to get through; not because I'm religious(I'm not Atheist, more..religion-less then anything) but because it was kind of dry. As it is an autobiography, you felt evcerything so why not write it all down? It's way to formal, this story could have been written with more passion about yourself. You write about all this stuff so vividly in your DA account, why not here?

Hello Dracori! It's WhiteMage103 from deviantart.

I replied to the one on deviantart, but I wish to say in a better light and try to balence out the negative comments here on your reviews.

You are a fantastic writer and for once we have someone who uses spell check and has proper grammar on a author site. And as for you converting into Atheism, good job. What ever makes you happy. I myself am a Christian, but I, along with a few other Christians, am open to other people's faith. I may not agree to them, but it is interesting to hear about all these other religions and beliefs. You seem like an intelligent, well made young woman and people are missing out when you say you are a liberal atheist, when you are just like any other person. You have more morals than some Christians I know. You are brave to speak out your mind and to some of us little people you are an inspiration and a role model.

Once again a autobiography well- written. I hope everyone finds their true place in this world and find love their as well. It's should have to matter what race, religion, sex, or sexuality you are to find happiness.

Happy Writings.

Okay . . . so at first I thought this was going to be a really interesting bit of someone's life. I was like "Wow, that's awesome for this person to come out and say how they feel!" But then By the second paragraph I'm sorry, my friend, you lost me. ,_,

I used to be atheist myself you see and at the end of the 2nd paragraph you just said "For me, I just let my heart and mind lead me to this conclusion, based on life experiences, and what science had to offer. I guess it would only be best to start from the beginning." Even when I was atheist I felt I did have some kind of hope or belief that there's something better out there.

Most people like some hope in their lives, it's good you weren't bashing as far as I could tell and you have an excellent voice as a writer. This seemed well written but I couldn't bring myself to fully read it as I scrolled down the seemingly endless page of "I'm an atheist and This is the story of my plight"

I thought it was going to be different and not just one of those peices that seems to go on and on . . . So here I am giving you the feedback I have for you from what I read so far.

Now about what I did like! How you made the description of the stereotype! That was nice to have.

I'm wiccan now and I love that there are many types of hope out there. Glad you found yours ;D

I'm just sorry I didn't feel like reading the whole thing though . . . I'm just not into rants or blahblahI'm so happy I found the light of *whateverreligion* kind of peices . . . They annoy me.
