Did you find the loss of your Christian faith to be an emotionally difficult or traumatising experience and (if I'm allowed 2), were you beginning to have doubts about your religion even when you were posting as a Christian on IMDb/IMDb v2? The answer to both questions is surprisingly no. I actually found it quite liberating and a relief because it freed me up to focus on what was actually important...prosperity and happiness through scientific understanding and logical reasoning. As far as doubts go, I suppose I’ve always had them. But cognitive dissonance compelled me to surpress them to facilitate what I wanted to believe (rather than what actually made sense). The trigger was essentially a sleepless night followed by an epiphany. No dramatic life changes! Suffice it to say, I woke up one night and realized that god (specifically the Christian God as described by the Bible and taught by traditional Christianity) doesn’t exist because it CAN’T exist within the framework of its own logic. That god (and all attributes associated with the belief) is self contradictory, and as a concept can only exist as a paradox.
