My "conversion" to atheism

This is is short overview of my life as a Christian and why I became an atheist. This is mainly for those religious people who may state that I do not know what I am talking about, or that I have not studied Christianity in any real depth. Yes - I know I was not "born a Christian" and highlight this fact later in the video. For brevity I made that statement instead of "I was born an atheist in a Christian family and raised with the values, rituals, and conventions inherit in such situations". The popular understanding of the phrase has the meaning I was looking for without having to go into a massive explanation as to why everyone is born an atheist. Besides, if I had gone down that route I would now be defending a "I was born an atheist" comment to all the idiot theists who visit. Furthermore, if anyone make a comment about this again I will give you the thumbs down - if you can't be bothered reading the descriptions of videos, it's your own fault. There is a slight problem with the Youtube version - it cuts off one of two closing slides and the credit for the music, which called "High Drama" from the album "Pictures" by Timo Maas.

The problem is that this dickweed doesn't even know what theory means. It doesn't mean guess, that the earth revolves around the sun? That's a theory too. I think someone needs to grow a brain.

A) He never said Allah loves all, he was talking about the god of abraham. B) Learn to spell and use proper grammar, it helps in life. C) Your comment makes no sense whatsoever, it hurts my brain just trying to read it. D) Go back to preschool, you obviously failed.

Atheism doesn't mean you absolutely believe there can't be a god. There's a good video about it in youtube. It's named "you are not agnostic" by Fighting Atheist

Thanks for making this video, I'm relieved that there are people with sense in this world.

"What else dumbass. Theory of Evolution" Why not the theory of gravity, or germ theory? Neither of these mention god, so by definition are "atheistic theories". In any case, many theists accept evolution (since they have actually bothered to look at the evidence), they just assert that god started the process. So it seems you can be a "theistic evolutionist" after all (what a horrible term). Care to spin the wheel again?

Allah knows everything this is another thing that atheists dont seem 2 comprehend...Allah has NO need 4 our worship. it is US who need Him. Angels many other creatures r made in a way that they dont have that free will to obey or disobey. they fulfill commands as they r told. from all the creatures, human beings r the 1s being tested. who told u that Allah is 'all loving'? thats more of a Christian concept. Allah says He doesnt luv those who do wrong, those who transgress limits, etc
