3. Yeah, it's a process

First I stopped believing the Christmas story. Then I stopped believing how preachers twisted the words of the bible. Then I threw out the bible all together. Then I started questioning the idea of a God.

Then I just gave up rationalizing a bunch of stupid ideas tied up with a bunch of lies and propaganda and picked up the aithiest label.

There is not credible or sufficient evidence that any god exists. In fact this world behaves just as I would expect it to behave if there is No God.
