Great Post Greg! Thanks for sharing. I've met many that've followed a similar path - from a perspective of belief to that of denial to that of searching, to that of "finding". Crazy how our most fundamental world views and personal philosophies can be molded and changed by the seemingly endless catalysts before us. Concrete belief is anything but. Such is life.
You and many others! It's tough for thinking/questioning people to accept the teachings of Christianity (especially the Old Testament/Fire and Brimstone/God is an old man in the sky view) at face value. I think Atheism is the logical progression away from these teachings for many that truly search/think for themselves.
For some, the Law of One just makes MUCH more sense than the Ancient Manuscripts do. But I've gotta admit I still try and hold on to
"Do unto others..." (for all are ONE! ...right?
)
