  1. I started out agnostic since 1987...An Ex-Christian since 2001. As a teenager brought up in Roman Catholicism. (Not fun nor rewarding!) My personality/mental makeup that may have something to do with my past life, if I had one. I question EVERYTHING that hits my internal radar. (I literally feel a vibration, thus question...) I been spending a good part of my young 62 years, thinking why/how someone can believe in something (Christianity) with NO evidence other than a Book. A subjective book about a history at best. And the internal moral structure of this organization, 'The Church' is nothing less than, dysfunctional on a good day. (We all know the history) My Question: As mentioned above. 'How does one believe' in something so decisively as to believe with No doubt, with every part of their being, that it is real! By FEAR and not ask/question the source of that message? Believe or else you will burn in...a bad place for eternity. Oh crap, I'm sold. What do I have to do, so I don't go there. NO ONE, takes that kind of approach, any where else in society with anything! 'You need to buy this or your going to burn in...Donate this much $$$$$$$$$ or burn in...If you don't love me the way I want you too or your going to burn in...' Does Not Happen in real life, that I know of. So How does this happen? I'm literally perplexed! Have these folks been given a subminimal message? A subminimal mark of The beast mind you. It can't be FEAR alone, can it Sam/people? END of Q. p.s. I'm not an Atheist. Mon-theist who believes in the Near Death Experience narrative. Millions have had them and some with veridical evidence that leaves NO DOUBT that something BIG is going on here. Plus I have had my own person experiences, that made me Question more than normal. Love everything you say Sam. It just makes sense. Thanks Sam Harris!
