I was an hardcore atheist before flat earth, now I look back at my old thinking of there being no God as absurd, the Bible says the earth is not a spinning ball and describes a flat stationary immovable earth, changed my view on everything. I never had even read the Bible but it seems to me to talk mostly about men being deceivers, power corrupting, and how living right is the way to go. I now think there are multiple Gods but Jesus is the way to go for ME, I literally feel like i was given "new eyes and ears and a heart, all my beliefs changed last year when I had an epiphany at age 46 with my one friend there and my brother, they remember it and it was REALLY weird, never in a million years thought I would believe in God and say I was born again but thats what I believe now, Flat Earth and the Bible got me there, very very happy with my life now.

Good for you! Whatever gets you through this veil of tears.
My problem with religion is that it preaches acceptance and obedience. I am suspicious of anything which requires blind faith and discourages thought and reason.
You can stil be religious and not be deprived of your thought and/or reason. I am, for instance. We'll get into that more later on with some posts I'm going to be doing.
I can't say that's been my experience with religious folk, but I'm open to persuasion;)
I agree cambridgeport, I used to think like deirdyweirdy about religious people not being logical too, they teach us to think that way in school with "science".
Quite the contrary, I am the product of 12 years of religious education. I do not single out those with religious beliefs as unreasoning and illogical. I treat all dogma with equal suspicion.
The only thing I know is that we have been misled about our origins and our purpose.
