Anytime I let someone know that I don't believe in gods, 9 times out of 10 I get a bewildered look and a "Why?"
Usually I avoid engaging in conversation because it can be a touchy subject....I understand this somewhat because when I was a believer, I felt threatened by non-believers. What the atheists and agnostics said made sense at the time...but I was too scared to take it in. I think I was in denial for quite awhile.
It feels good to be able to talk about this here...I haven't been able to talk about this with anyone.
