Hello

[yepimonfire]

Welcome, yepimonfire!

Grew up as a Christian myself.  Your introduction post sounds a lot like my college years.  I do so hope you find your answers, and the peace that comes with them.  Maybe it will be as a happy atheist like some of us.  Maybe it will be as a happy something else! 

what a coincidence. i am currently a student myself.

What are you studying?  I graduated with a Masters in Science, Nursing last year, working as a Nurse Practitioner now.  Took several religion courses during my university days, while I was still searching. 

Engineering. Probably won't have to take a class in religion. Don't need to anyways, i've studied enough about it to have practically taken a class on it (outside of christianity even)

Engineering! Very nice.  Mechanical, electrical, chemical?  Have you decided which way you're headed?  If only I'd been better at math, I could have become an engineer!  Ha.  I did a lot of independent study on religion as well.  But I had this amazing professor for "Comparative Religion", which was a required course.  I just had to have him again.  So I took a few more of his classes.  He was Jewish.  Being a Christian at the time, I become sort of fascinated at how Christianity grew from Judaism.  And before that, how Judaism evolved.  And on and on and on backward until I realized that the notion of deity was a human construct, an attempt to find meaning.  It was very liberating. 

electronics engineering.
