I call myself an atheist, but deep down I believe in the Flying Spaghetti
Monster looking out for me. I just don’t have enough guts to come out of the
closet yet. Hope you don’t mind a sincere Pastafarian around. Seriously, I think
my lifelong interest in philosophy helped me to wake up. Books by Dawkins,
Hitchens and Sam Harris helped me to shed any remaining doubts I had regarding
religion. It was a difficult process to brake away from fanatical conservative
church/circle of friends, because my family was also part of it. But by His
Noodly Grace we are now more or less an atheist/agnostic family.
