Just finished reading this great book by Richard Dawkins.\u00c2\u00a0 Always been an Atheist to SOME degree, but I am ashamed to admit I didn’t know to WHAT degree.\u00c2\u00a0 I am now convinced, absolutely and completely, that there is no God.\u00c2\u00a0 (I capitalize only because it is the standard convention)<\/p>\n
This book truly is a life changer for me – in terms of my own thought process on religion, on how it affects my child (not to mention ALL children), and clarifies for me that nagging feeling I’ve always had when discussing religion with someone\u00c2\u00a0when a) I felt like they were deluded and b) I felt like i couldn’t openly discuss it with them.\u00c2\u00a0 Neither of these will be problems for me ever again.<\/p>\n
So to all of my friends i say this – please read this book.\u00c2\u00a0 To those who still believe, I really don’t know what to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
