"Believe" can turn even the "smartest" into quite dumb people. I myself am a BIG example.
I came to this group as a "believer". Once here, I heard Scott bashing "christianity" (and all other forms of belief, as Scott is an equal opportunity "belief-bashing-machine"), I started asking questions. Questions, that before, my brain wouldn't even dare going there.
THEN it all just came crumbling down. There were no logical/factual explanation for ANY of my questions, other than acknowledging that what Scott, Andrew, and many others said IS TRUE.
I was miserable for quite some time afterwards. Very angry. Angry at myself.
The feeling of "guilt" that religion had planted in my brain, I HATED IT! I hated been "good", yet feeling I was always screwing-up to my imaginary sky-daddy. I had MANY years of complete misery.
Now I CAN SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT, the feeling of NOT worrying about non-existent problems/rules is one of the greatest gifts I have received from Scott Duncan, and TTFL.
THIS IS AWESOME! :)
