Shock and Awe: A Former Christian Ponders the Cosmos
by Fibbs1701

Recently, I've been wrestling with the perplexing realization that since leaving the Christian faith, I see the planet around me and the vast universe in which it moves with a far greater sense of awe and majesty than I ever perceived it as a believer. I took an informal poll of friends whose life-trajectories matched my own, and found that every one of them felt exactly the same way. For myself, and for many of the deconverted, the awe we feel now, having left the faith, is far greater, far more wondrous, far more intoxicating and euphoric than anything we ever felt as believers. But why?

I was notified about this wonderful video (and channel) by DiscoveringReligion (his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/DiscoveringReligion?feature=watch ).

I can only say that I can very much understand the feelings Fibbs1701 is talking about. A video well worth watching, and sub certainly worth of considering.

That's what I've been saying for years, just not so eloquently!
