The concept of God, while having the appearance of being a single, coherent belief is often actually supported by multiple pillars of intertwined sub-beliefs. I give an overview of some of the most important sub-beliefs for my personal conception of God here. I will detail how at least most of these sub-beliefs fell for me, under the weight of logic and evidence, in later videos.

I explain why, for theological reasons, I stopped believing in the validity of intercessory prayer as a Christian. I also comment on the famous 2006 study on intercessory prayer[1] and present GIIVideo's argument against the validity of the "Yes", "No", and "Wait" heuristic that many theists use to justify the practice of intercessory prayer.

My story. What I was taught as a Christian child. Basic understandings of what kind of Christianity I came from. I was raised Non-Denominational, with a preference in the Pentecostal belief in the Holy Spirit, charismatic worship, and prophecy. I was NOT raised Fundie, but only in certain interpretive areas. I have never been so afraid in my life of uploading a video before. This was a risk, but one I decided to take. It is sad that people like me have to be afraid of directly addressing our childhoods for fear of loved ones finding out. Many do not understand where I came from. This video is for people who think I never had an understanding of the Bible and have no idea what I'm talking about. Maybe I'm not an expert on Christianity, but like you, I was also raised on it.

It is a story you don't usually hear about. Hope this will be some use to you. This video is part two of my journey. It talks about how I left christianity during college mostly due to slowly leaving church, becoming unsatisfied with the chrisitian community and then learning atheist arguments online on ex-christian.net.

EDIT 5/24/2010: There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding going on in the comments section about what atheism entails. Allow me to explain: 1. ATHEISTS ARE NOT ANGRY AT GOD. I even state that in this video, very explicitly and loud enough for even my craptacular mike to pick up. Why aren't we angry at God? Because we don't believe God exists. For an atheist to be angry at God would be every bit as ridiculous as a theist being angry at a jackalope, for whatever reason. 2. ATHEISM IS MERELY THE NON-BELIEF IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD. It does not automatically entail an argument against Christianity or religion in any way, shape, or form. As a matter of fact, some religions are atheistic: Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, even Universal Unitarianism are, or can be, godless. Simply put: Atheism =/= A need for an argument, good or bad, against religion. 3. IF YOU HAVE RELIGION, GREAT. STOP SHOVING IT DOWN MY THROAT. Self-explanatory. Already did the "born-again" thing; don't need to do it twice. But thanks for your concern. 4. IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND HAPPY ABOUT IT, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU. But again, I'm not interested in being converted, thanks anyway. -------- The story of how I de-converted from radical Christianity to atheism.

www.i-am-an-exmormon.com www.exmormonfoundation.org http www.exmormon.reddit.com http My name is Nick Godfrey. I was raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My dad is a lifelong member, while my mom converted to the church when I was three years old. Throughout my life I chose to believe and participate in the church. I always attended my church meetings and fulfilled my callings. I strove to obey the doctrines and practices of the church as strictly as possible. I drew a great deal of comfort from my beliefs. Mormonism was at the core of my identity. In July 2010 I started questioning whether I had a solid basis to believe in Mormonism. I concluded that I couldn't base my testimony on subjective feelings or personal spiritual experiences because first, people of all faiths feel similar emotions when they worship their gods, and read their holy books and if that is the standard of evidence that I accept Mormonism under, I would have to extend the same standard of evidence to these theologies. Second, the emotions and feelings that lead me to accept Mormonism, no matter how strongly they felt, or how externally generated they felt, could too easily be a product of self-delusion, hallucination, miss-perception, pattern-seeking, or wishful-thinking. I concluded that I needed to look for objective evidence if I was going to accept Mormonism. As I began to study Mormon history and doctrine deeper than I ever had in my life I began to discover many parts of <b>...</b>

"Everybody is an atheist with respect to most of the gods humanity has ever believed in; some of us just go one god further..." - Richard Dawkins "For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as t really is, than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan. I'm what you might call a New Atheist, and I'm new here on YouTube. There are several people here on YouTube to whom I owe my sanity and I will get around to thanking them personally in later videos. I hope you'll all pull up a spare seat and treat me nicely :) Note: This is the second revision of this video to be published. The original was made available five days earlier and had some factual errors with respect to the earlier gods with christ-like attributes. I have corrected these errors and re-uploaded the video. The important moral to learn from this experience and this video series is this: I am not a Creationist or a fundamentalist-anything. If I get something wrong and am shown the evidence, I change my mind. When you are presented with evidence that is contrary to your beliefs what do you do? Do you change your beliefs to be in line with new and current and confirmed evidence or do you sit tight to your old ideas? I know which side of the evidence-based fence I sit on. How about you?

*A note about Liam: I left what happened with Liam intentionally vague. This was in respect for and protection of those whose lives were affected. This is, after all, a real story. He did something that hurt a lot of people and severed our relationship, the specifics of which are not relevant to why I deconverted. I included this event because of its affect on my relationship with Jesus and how it necessitated the prolonged survival of my faith. Ultimately, this series isn't meant to just be about me. This is a human story and I'm only doing this right if you can connect in some way with your own story through it. I promise eventually there is a turnaround and there will be resolution and a new life as an atheist, it just isn't yet. I wanted to represent the reality of what happens sometimes in a young person who becomes trapped in a deconversion and what the consequences of that can be.
