How I Became a Humanist

This series explains how I went from being an Evangelical Christian to an atheist and how I have progressed since then.  The series isn't meant to convert anyone.  You'll find stories and essays here that seem to defend a Christian perspective and others that seem to attack it.  Neither is the point.  Through out the years, I've believed and experienced things that support a Christian perspective.  I've also believed and experienced things that challenge that perspective.  My hope is that those who read this will find a fellow truth seeker and also better come to understand people who think differently from themselves.
