Hello,
Just to correct any misunderstanding with regards to my hastily chosen alcohol influenced title. I do not mean in any way that I am no longer an atheist, or that I view atheists with any disregard or mean any of you any insult.
What I'm talking about is a point that I have reached in my own personal development where my being an atheist is no longer a big thing. I went through a phase where I could find myself thinking about and getting indignant about religion without any external stimuli at all. Now I just feel like I was almost wasting my time. I don't believe in God, what more is there to talk about really, unless you want to go round and round in circles with theists?
I've said all I need to. In a way I feel that I've kinda let some folks down on this forum because I want to actively contribute and live up to the honour of being a blogger that was kindly given to me, but I don't find myself moved to comment on many subjects discussed here, let alone post in great length about them. Another reason is that I feel a desire to distance myself from the petty atheists who petition against innocuous memorials and sexist wankers like Thunderf00t and the Amazing Atheist.
Does anyone else feel a loss of passion where there once was a great deal when it comes to atheism?
I love this forum, and I want to stay a part of it, but I feel less and less inclined to comment on things for reasons mentioned previously. I hope at least in part that this discussion may motivate me again in some form or another.
Apologies for being incoherent. Blame the beer.
