You're still welcome in this guild. You're my friend whatever you believe. Feel free to post what kind of questions you have in the guild.


It isn't simple as asking the questions. It might sound stupid, but I have always felt if I ask these questions, then it wouldn't answer the question for me. Instead see how someone else sees it.

Eh, I know you are still. I just wanted to inform of my change of thought...
Ah I get what you mean by that. Sometimes it can be helpful seeing how someone else sees it or gets to that point, can be helpful, which is why I mention it. But yes it would ultimately be from someone else's perspective.

Well when you start eating babies let me know I've been curious about the taste lol wink j/k
Will do, though I kind of see them tasting like beef or pork. lol razz

since admission, that I don’t believe any more. I have found myself in a dark peaceful state, by which I mean there is no joy/happiness but I still feel peaceful. Everything people state, that one gets with being a Christian, I have found being without(except for the joy part[eh, who needs it? Nothing, got done when “Joy was in my heart”, everything is getting done with out it.]). I found myself no longer caring for what others think, meaning feel like I have to lie, so they are happy. My life revolves around my own thoughts than, have to do this and that, for god or someone else. Over all my life feels less stressful.

The bad parts are… I feel like I am being shunned by my family(except for my sister and niece), though they don‘t want to admit the two is linked. My younger brother, now brings up “just be cause you left god, doesn‘t mean I have to” with every disagreement we have, even if it has nothing to do with god. I feel like I am carrying a “poker face” expression, no matter where I go. And finally, my left ear has swollen shut… if this is god’s way of saying “listen up”, he has to do better, I had ear infections as a child.

Sounds like you are finally finding salvation, or at least how I understand salvation.

"Atheist" is a word that carries a lot of baggage to it, especially here in the States. It's unfortunate that it carries more meanings to people than what the word actually means. Again I'm very happy to hear that you are finally being active in your life.

I view my thoughts as being more, Agnostic than Atheistic. I simply want proof that god exists, but until it happens I have no reason to stand as strong as I tried to in the past. This proof can take any form, from a message that only be defined as from him (thus his existence), to the extreme of any of the countless dooms day foretellings (that I know of) to come true.

Sadly, many people don't separate Agnostic from Atheistic....

I thought that your agnostic stance was a given. Most people in regards to deities are agnostic, but have a belief stance of being either theistic or atheistic. But I get better what you mean now, on a scale of 1 to 7 with 1 being theistic and 7 being atheistic you'd be like a 4. You'd be more likely to shift either way if given the right amount of evidence?

You've let go of much of the garbage so you've got yourself open to actually getting something. It's the first step, just don't fill it with more garbage or you'll have to start all over again.

At the moment, I am only filling it with knowledge of what I like and dislike, what I want to do, all and all... everything, I said I couldn't be because of x reason. More importantly, Who I am... I always defined myself by what others said about me, it is a good starting point, but I question if it is true.

Knowing yourself is key to seeking so good for you brother. Sounds like you have your priorities straightened.

That is AWESOME! What do you have going on from home?

I need to find a way to make some money from home now too. I have been going through all the things I have made over the years, and projects I have going on now, and trying to figure out what I can make and sell on Etsy.

I work as a telemarketer. You know those job websites where you click the box to continue your education, well I'm the one that calls you up when you click that box. Found out that the call center is based in IL so yeah I was able to get hired in their virtual office and now work from home.

Cool. I had considered doing something like that for a local collection agency, but I felt guilty since I have two collection agencies after me at the moment. rolleyes Stupid hospital bills.

Anyways, my creative are exploding out of me after so long of being pent up. It is about as messy as an explosion too. I have so many thing started.

I would get to the middle one project and think of something new, and have to start it so I wouldn't forget, and so forth. LOL... It the creative version of ADHD. I am spending today organizing those things, and making a journal of ideas from now on so I can have space in my house again. Hopefully I can finish some of my started projects tomorrow.
