1. Ain't it great to have your mind back?

As an ex-fundamentalist I know what it's like to give your mind over to others. The first day you think for yourself (again) is a great day.

And it only gets better.

[jackster]

2. AMEN! (tongue in cheek)

how liberating to be able to eschew religion completely! I've never felt more free or whole than in embracing agnosticism and putting to rest all my old beliefs and superstitions.

I realize that this is not for everyone, but for me, it has been such a freeing process!

[Freebird12004]

4. "Free Thinking"

is an interesting process.

[Ezlivin]

5. No kidding

The first morning I awoke and realized that I didn't need to fall to my knees to grovel or to assume that some superior being was browing through my thoughts was great.

When I threw my Bible away I felt even better.

When I turned away the cultists at my door, I felt better.

[jackster]

7. one of the greatest benefits I find

is that I'm no longer as afraid of death....

I haven't really explored it yet, but it came to me recently that I'm not as worried - is there a heaven, is there not a heaven....

I don't know that there is a heaven but it no longer makes any difference as to how I live my life
