Religion & Science
Chris and I watched a rather scathing indictment on religion recently; Richard Dawkins, a well-known British scientist, speaks about how religion harms society. I warn my Christian friends that they may find the video challenging and possibly upsetting, but Mr. Dawkins really affirmed for me some of what I've been feeling since leaving Christianity in 2004 (and for a long time before leaving too, really).

I'm not sure what I believe any more; I tend to swing between agnosticism and athiesm. My life has certainly had less guilt and self-reproach since I left religion.
