1. Diary of a Deserter

Shemp, your experience at Sunday School mirrors my own, apart from the fact that I was physically assaulted by the teacher for having the temerity to question creation (ironically with the help of my mother, who is now a born-again xtian.) Thanks to that, I started on the road to enlightenment. In my childish mind there was physical evidence of dinosaurs but no dinosaurs in the bible, therefore the bible was wrong. My lack of belief has always been as simple as that. It's only recently that I have started to study it in more depth.

I guess I've been fortunate enough to live in a society where it has been easy for me to reject the supernatural without fear of ridicule or being ostracised. Even when I lived in Iran (post revolution) I was quite open about my non-belief and this was accepted by my muslim in-laws and others, although my husband did apologise on my behalf.
