Old post

I found this sitting in my blog drafts:

Every once in a while, I'm staggered by a recognition that I live my life in a state of delusion.  The closer things are to you, the easier it is to forget them.  Like my glasses.  I don't even see them in front of my face anymore.

I have a good paying job at 23 years old doing something I enjoy.

But more obscure.

The new testament was mostly written by genocidal religious zealot.  A reformed zealot, but a zealot nonetheless.  I think that's why paul had a clearer grasp on things.  He came from the outside first.  If I ever decide I'm a christian again, I will tell my children to abandon their faith so they can come back to it on their own.

Atheism as a purification. Yes.
