An introduction
Ever since hearing Evid3nc3’s journey out of faith, I was inspired to look at it the same way. I have had difficulties with my parent’s questions, since they want to know why? As if there is any one thing they can refute and bring me back to the fold. The idea of listing out all the “evidence” out there felt dishonest, because it wasn’t just facts and proofs that changed me.It instead was a complex structure of occurrences, none of which would be fair to say "that one's fault."
As Evid3nc3 pointed out, faith is more a mega-belief founded on many pillars. When one or two or more are broken, the remainder are networked together to still provide something to believe.

But, at some point, too many are broken. At that point, either a person has to be dishonest with themselves, try to blindly go back into something they are now incredibly uncertain about, or be true to themselves and sally forth, no matter that their soul, sanity, and spirit are on the line.
So.. for fun, I'm going to take you on a journey if you care to come along.
It is not that one day I woke up and chose not to believe. It is that one day I realized that I no longer could believe no matter how hard I tried.
