OK, just joined the forum but not a lot to say in a post like this. I was a Chrsitian and studied for an MTheol degree which I got in 1996 which was what finally sent me to atheism. Doing a degree is great for making one think clearly and ignore the preaching a church produces.
Anyway, looking forward to some good discussions.

Cool. Welcome. I was working on a n undergrad Philosophy degree with a plan to get something like an MTheol when it dawned on me that all that shit was made up. It's been babies for breakfast ever since.

Hi wheeles, and a big welcome to Ratz! 
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

I did not go that far - just read one New Testament to shreds in my free time and the bible twice through. On my third round, reading Job 13, I put the book away for good - it sounded too much like some of the patients in a mental ward where I had been training as a student nurse.wheels5894 wrote:I was a Chrsitian and studied for an MTheol degree which I got in 1996 which was what finally sent me to atheism.

Would you like a theme tune? 
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Welcome to the forum, Wheels. What part of Scotland are you from - we have quite a few members up there already - especially Aberdeen, aka Ratz Central.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
