Why I am a proud atheist.

Hello, I am Bradley. I am about to be 40 years old, this December. My birthday is December 09, 1967. On December 09, 1980, my 13th birthday, I was diagnosed with my brain tumor. It was the remains of my undeveloped twin. I have had 14 operatioins, over the years. In 1980 (2), 1981 (1), 1982 (1), 1984 (1), 1996 (1) and 19987 (Cool. And in 1997, I got to spend 6 months, in 4 comas, due to a MISDIAGNOSED problem.

I remember, when I was first, in the hospital, in 1980, the pastor, from the church I went, with my familty, came to see me. He said, "God's watching out for you. It was here that my atheism started. However, I was in a family where I was not allowed to express these feelings. I was forced to go to church, even though I did everything I could to fight it.

After my problems in 1997, where I was really close to death again, I got a bit lost, in the confusion and started to try churhc again. It took me a while, but I eventually came to reason, that god does not eixst. Jesus is a huge joke. And the holy spirit is just a waste of time. And my time is far to precious to me to waste it.

For severaL years now, I have putting together a new agency for people, who have been through life-altering health episodes. I am trying to help people, especially children and adolescents, who are having to face such hard times. My agency is called "D.A.P.P.E.R.", that is "DIFFERENTLY ABLED PROUD PEOPLE EXERCISING RIGHTS". This is something that I can do with what I have been through.

I am also expressing my Atheism, mlore than ever. So, if you ever need some help, give me a call.
