| Comments: | I have been raised in a strong
Christian home. When I was little, I believed in god cause my parents
believed in him. Like some kids believe in Santa Claus their parents tell
them he exists. When I was 4yrs old I supposedly "became a Christian". I now
know that I was to young to really understand it all. As I got older, I went
to church with my family and stuff. For a while, god seemed quite real.
However, by the time I was 12 or so, my "faith" was weakening. I started
realizing it was more of a blind faith and unrealistic. I'll admit, I didn't
want to lose my "faith", even if it was blind. I prayed that god would
somehow help, but it's obvious that he didn't. If there was a god and he
didn't care enough to help me keep my faith in him, why should I? Anyway,
I'm different from most kids my age, at least the ones at my school. I like
to think. I also like to read, write, and be alone. Most of the kids my age
around here just accept what they are told without question. September 27, 2002 21:06:45 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | Mr. Miller, I have found your
site most entertaining. There are a ton of questions I would like to ask
you, sort of pick your brain for a time. I do not feel that this will be
easily acomplished due to the fact that every time I have tried to e-mail
you direct I just get a bunch of spam crap. Not sure what the hell that
means, but it is not the first time that it has happened. If you would
please, contact me at the above address. I am sure that we both have a lot
to learn from each other. September 18, 2002 00:11:43 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | There was an admission put
forward by one of the official biographers of the Rothschilds ( Marcus Eli
Ravage) that the Sanhedrin invented Jesus Christ and Christianity to destroy
the Roman Empire to get their revenge against the Romans for destroying
Jerusalem in 70(??) A.D. Maybe Christianity is being used to destroy our
"Western" Culture of today !!!!! As Friedrich Nitze said over 100 years ago:
"Christianity made all that was beautiful ugly" !!!! September 5, 2002 22:26:32 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | I'm glad you made this site. My
greatest wish is that society would be enlightened and free itself from the
constraints of arrogant and closed minded religions. How can one religion of
thousands be right. The truth is that it is all myths designed by people who
were afraid to die, and were not intelligent enough to explain the world
around them. The stories of the bible are so ridiculous that it saddens me
that anyone believes them. I just hope society will educate itself of the
truth. July 11, 2002 07:42:07 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | I had a similar experience to
your loss of faith, it happened quicker though, earlier in my life. I was
raised catholic, parents catholic grandparents catholic, went to church and
Sunday school. The whole bid. After a while living in Mass we moved to New
Hampshire and we stopped going to church. My dad lost his faith (long story)
and opened a tattoo shop because apparently that's all he is capable of
doing, all other jobs he had he had failed at, even at being a good husband.
My parents divorced and we still lived in Nashua. Never having read the
bible once and realizing that all of the "avid" Christians I knew had never
read the bible once, I realized that Christianity was not all it was cracked
up to be. Searching for new answers and a new religion I turned to Wicca.
Its funny though looking back, all those silly posers have no idea what the
hell they're talking about. I was like that too. I then realized all the
problems with that shit and started researching philosophy and o June 21, 2002 19:56:45 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | I am a true believer in The Big
Guy, and Jesus. Does that mean I cannot be wrong? NO!! I have no evidence..I
only have faith. I know there is some greater thing out there, and that
there is a greater plan..too many things are lined up in history and things
( not so much prophesies, but patterns) I have attended the deaths of a
thousand souls ( used to work for Hospice) and there is too much that goes
on during this process for me to deny the existence of the Greater Creator
:) nonetheless, i like your website. I welcome my faith to be challenged,
but because it is FAITH, there is no proof for me. It is that mighty LEAP.

| Comments: | We share many views. I was
raised in the Disciples of Christ church, and, like you, believed what I was
told. As a college freshman (1929-30), I was chatting with some
upperclassmen, and asked them what church they attended. The answer was, "We
don't; we're atheists." I was a bit taken aback, but figured I could
convince them of the error of their ways. After three difficult days, I
realized that there was no support for my beliefs, and I have been a
non-theist for the last 73 years. I, too, love astronomy; I plan to be
reincarnated as a cosmologist. I'm a born-again skeptic with respect to all
the things you list. (Actually, my training was as a biochemist: Ph.D.,
Purdue, 1937.) Keep up the good fight. May 9, 2002 03:26:16 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | One other thought....most people
don't like to hear their faith may be "wrong" because they are afraid that
the seeds of doubt will cause them to lose their faith. I think if someone
truly believes in something, they SHOULD challenge it. To know something
exists, you have to have proof of otherwise. peace out! May 7, 2002 14:30:08 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | I grew up in a Christian home. I
was sent to a Christian parochial school from kindergarten to 10th grade.
The real burn in hell, fire and brimstone Missouri synod type. We we're
taught the bible was the infallible word of god and you didn't ask to many
questions. But as I grew older, and wiser I for the first time started
reading the bible objectively, not subjectively. Not just the sound-bites
the minister reads to you in the gospel and the epistle. Well to make a long
story short I saw the contradictions and the absurdities and soon came to
realize that my parents and the teachers and ministers we're all full of
shit. I've been an Atheist/Skeptic for many years now and I cannot imagine
giving up the delicious freedom of Atheism/Skepticism for anything.

| Comments: | Good job so far. The main good
of it all is that at least you became wise and thought for yourself. For
more interesting information let me suggest the catholic encyclopedia at
:http://www.newadvent.org/cathen Look up gospel, as well as council of
Nicaea... you will find out some interesting things, about how the bible was
written well after the supposed fact and that the council had to decide on
when the birth and resurrection of Christ supposedly happened. Let me refer
something else odd: Isaiah 14:12 and Rev 22:16; another gen 18:20-21; Jer
18:8; and the last contradiction I will give you is - 2 kings 14:6, Ezekiel
18:20 contradicts Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:7, Jer 6:11 You might find these as
crazy as I did LOL. Anyway, damn good job, and thanks for trying to get the
truth about Christianity out there April 7, 2002 16:23:54 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | This is the short version. I was
raised Baptist, with hellfire and brimstone messages everywhere I turned.
Naturally I wanted to be saved from going to hell, besides all my friends
were getting saved, so I did too. I was 8 I think. My life was no better,
but I tried getting saved 2 or 3 more times over the next 20 years thinking
I had gotten it wrong the first time. During this time I somehow became an
alcoholic. Long story short; I got into AA at age 32. I made lots of friends

your site before I replied, but I promise I will read it all later. I'm
rather new to the internet and except for English-speaking news sights and
backgammon have very little time for anything else. I stumbled on to you via
my enjoyment of "The Guardian" quiz. I never really had a belief in God.

| Comments: | For a few years, I blindly
walked around proclaiming the "good news" as truth. When I first began to
doubt everything I was taught, it started with the church. Every one of them
that I attended was corrupt in one way or another, and they always tried to
back it up by saying some hogwash like "God's will" or some other trash. I
learned that logic is far superior to any kind of "faith." Every time I've
been reprimanded by a Christian for my opinions, I ask this: How can they
honestly say that the bible is 100% accurate? How do they know that it
wasn't a fairy tale made up by a common man who was quickly forgotten? December 14, 2001 03:29:12 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | Glad u ditched that stuff...and
glad u did it for the right reasons....blind non-faith is almost as annoying
as blind faith (but not quite!!). I totally agree and have used many of
these arguments in conversation before.... problem is a fundamentalist is
usually in too deep to take stock of the massive body of evidence facing
them. Ah well....maybe one day humans will come together in unity and get on
with evolving.... November 26, 2001 00:21:48 (GMT Time) |

except I never regularly went to church, I just read the bible on my own, I
really believed it, and I enjoyed reading the bible, I would stay up till
all hours of the morning just reading, I even got my girlfriend a bible for
Christmas, I was a DEVOUT Christian. For a while I had been doubting it
though, i kept having "evil" thoughts about there being no god, but was too
scared to actually think them through, but I felt that if I did I still had

arguing many, if not all, of these topics you discuss with several
Christians, and it is just amazing how they aren't able to see how obvious
it is. No extraneous information, arguments were solid and to the point,
with little room for any opposition. Congrats. I'd have to say that this is
