How I Became an Atheist
This vid describes my transition from a fundamentalist Baptist up bringing to my current Atheistic world view. I hope that those struggling with the same questions might hear my story and take heart that they are not alone and that the logical conclusion that you are struggling against is not as bleak as you may think.
