I was a Christian from age 15-35 and am now probably best described as an anti-theist. I have read Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris & Dennett and continue reading, blogging, discussing, and challenging theists as often as I can. I came here because I am finding it increasingly difficult to be viewed as the evil feminazi atheist witch for being a double offender. Not only do I present a threat to the validity of Christianity by being an apostate but speaking up about it as a woman is anti-biblical and just scandalous in traditional Christian culture for a woman to ‘teach’ or challenge the men who outrank her.
It has been distressing pointing out inconsistencies or disgusting bits of the Bible and then hear loved ones defending passages like the gang rape story in Judges 19 or implying that somehow I am the bad one for not being willing to kill my kids as Abraham was.
Hoping to find a little sanity in a secular community. Slavery is wrong. Rape is abhorrent. You know, basic evolved human morals make more sense then sending bears to maul 40 kids for teasing a man for being bald. God is psycho.
