"A man must accept his fate or be destroyed by it." ~Spartacus
I was raised Catholic because tradition. Now i am atheist because the Catholic Church has killed (and keep doing) more Christians than the bubonic plague.
I am starting to feel faith again (for the first time maybe) after a friend of mine told me about the religions of the nature (Wicca).
I was born into a non practicing, so called, muslim family. I believe in God through various channels, I combine beliefs. I follow my own path.... some people get freaked out by my beliefs
Yes, I get what you're saying, I just don't give a damn..
Communist until you get rich
Feminist until you get married
Atheist until the airplane starts falling..

same here, according to some sheikhs i am going straight to hell
This sounds like a good question for a recruiting strategizer to come up with and poll. "Let's see, shall we enslave them or appeal to friends?"
Curious rule here: There is an exception to every rule.
The above rule, if true, would mean it was true for each rule (as by it's own words it specifies "every rule"), thus becoming the exception to itself, thus further solidifying its own truth / validity / veracity.

The sheikhs are lucky, they can do something I can't, they can kiss my arse
In Islam there are no "inbetweeners" its always between God and believer
Plus, I have some "talents" that are God given, according to those sheikhs I would probably be stoned!!

That makes no sense. Atheism is the rejection of a claim about the nature of reality, not about how well some institution has behaved.
