It is hard to rid oneself of a belief which is embedded in our thinking.   Because of certain convictions and experiences I've had it is going to take a lot of analysing.  It will take time though
Take it. Seriously, take the time to analyze. We don't pretend this is easy.

Indeed.

An analytically mind does not close itself to a set rule of ideals, it keeps asking the questions of why things are the way they are, where is it going, how does it serve our interests. The smartest men in mankinds history found answers to the universe because they asked questions everyone else was to afraid to ask.

Yeah, thinking rationally is such a pain in the ass.  I advocate not thinking at all.  That way we have more time to waste on senseless activities that we really enjoy.

Suppose I should thank all and sundry for playing their part in my new belief system, or rather lack of belief.  I take back any harsh things that may have been said by me.   Literally woke up on Monday morning as an Atheist, it's a great feeling to say the least.

Oh? Care to share what changed your mind?

Your forgive me for being blunt, but given it took some people years to become atheists, like the rhetoric your told to believe in chipped away until you realize its all bunk, so how do you go from one mindset to another overnight? I've seen guys on forums say that before that they stopped believing in faith and are now atheists, but then a week later are right back to being faith followers again.

I think we are all a little skeptical of your epiphany, Oliver.

Waiting, for your modern messiah
To take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye"

I believe its just a test of time, its always nice hearing someone open up to being atheist, that they can be enlightened as such, but we're just have to wait and see I guess, I'm always prepared to give someone a chance.
