1. I cannot pin point the reason for my atheism

Even as a Catholic kid going to Catholic school I thought there was something fishy about the whole Christian story.

I always had this doubt about religion. I never trusted the clergy or their stories. I always hesitated about full on believing. When my spouse stood up at a Baptist service to accept Christ or whatever they do. I stood aside watching, feeling left out of this magical belief.

Many years later, the final nail in the coffin was the death of my spouse of 37 years. If anyone deserved a miracle at the last moment to save their life, or even to make their passing easier, it would have been my spouse.

In the end all we have is death. So, make the most of your time by believing in something real.
