I believe that Reason is still my faithful companion even though I’ve been tempted to go back to the “family.” But, I know who my friends really are! The ones committed to growth rather than stagnation. :-)

Read at this distance in time from when it was originally written, I hope your marriage to Reason still looks like your best hope for your best future.

Even if the pilgrim is still on a spiritual journey, Reason is an invaluable companion.

This story alone “purked me up”. You can get up now!

Keep writing; we need you.

Reg

That line about perking him up was brilliant. Shows a healthy lack of reverense. Welcome to reality, it seems to suit you.

And I hope your clarity of thinking continues. There will be lapses (I do it all the time), but eventually there is light at the end of the tunnel. Welcome to the blog!

I have been an Atheist for less than a year and this story has been like the story of my life…
I spent 11 yrs in a christian cult trying desperately to gain acceptance from god and his people only to discover that was hollow and empty on the inside.
I began searching for answers after 3 years of self doubt and severe depression because I had “fallen short of the grace of god” then I came across Pat Condell and my eyes were open for the first time..
I am so glad that I have made my way from insanity to reason.

‘She wished she had met him sooner, but knew that her first marriage prepared her for the maturity she needed to live a confident, free life with Reason later. And for that she was most grateful.’

This is so true, my absolute favorite line!
