as an atheist. In the past few months I passed this milestone. I don't remember the exact date but I do remember the day. Amazing how freeing it was.

I have had two such milestones in my life: I remember the day when I was set free from my state of spiritual death and made alive in Christ. I remember the day when I was set free from religion.

Just because you prey at the Alter or Mediocrity and worship the Sanctity of The Naive Fool.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

the message
Yes, I got the message that you don't have a clue. I pray that God will reveal to you the depths of His love and that you would grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Churchianity does tend to be hypocritical ... or, to put the best possible light on it, self-oblivious.

Reading your message made me curious so I cecked out your profile. Are you still teaching/coaching robotics. My brother-in-law has been a Roboticist pretty much since he graduated from the university and every now and then I get to help out with some of the coding, love it.

Not as much. The team laid out for two years but competed again this year. I helped get them started but backed off at toward the end. I am still active with a group that provides workshops and another competition in the fall for the bay area teams, WRRF[^]. I'm also a regular here, Homebrew Robotics Club[^]. Here too, I guess, IEEE RAS[^]. Most of the software I wrote was for factory automation or instrumentation. Just bouncing bits around doesn't really do much for me.

I had a discussion with a friend about the nature of the universe and during our talk, it just became clear to me. Growing up, anothough I guess I wasn't fully grown at the time, I went to a couple of protestant churches. I guess at 11, I had gathered enough pieces of the puzzle to put it together.

At least I didn't stop thinking at age 11.

I'm guessing you didn't discover your atheism that early and then later in life you're the one who stopped thinking. Guess it was just too much work for you. Couldn't look bad to the boys down at party headquarters? Oh, I forgot, you couldn't trust modern medicine and had to cut a special deal.

Maybe so, yet praying is all that I can do. It's God that has to change your heart. I do hope that someday you will see God for who He really is and not the idol you have formed to justify your hatred and abuse of others.

Oddly enough, *I* pray that you will someday grasp that you are not more righteous than God. And that, in the meantime, you may understand your hypocrisy according to your own asserted (yet pseudo) morality.
