Atheism has a certain appeal that religion lacks. Many theists claim that "Jesus completes them" or "they're filled with the spirit," I've tried that once or twice. I didn't feel a thing. My peers admonished me for being inable to feel the presence of the holy spirit and take euphoria in it. Oddly enough, as soon as I left Christianity, I felt an invigoration I've never felt before. Individuality, freedom, purpose, it was narcotic and intoxicating. I was fighting a war with God, and I was winning.
