    My Journey Through Atheism

    In my last post, I wrote about how I started thinking about the concept of god and how it sent me down a path I never imagined. It was a process that continued for many years and involved rethinking all aspects of my life while incorporating everything new that starting catching my interest. In this post, I'll go through my varying positions about the concept of god before I arrived at my stand today. But before I do, I want to elaborate on my religious beliefs and practices before I started questioning it all.

    How A Stand-Up Routine Turned My World Upside Down

    In my previous post, I had written about how George Carlin had helped in forming my world-view. This is the story of how it actually started. It begins on an average day, sometime in the last quarter of 2010. It was a few hours past midnight when I had finished my work for the day and had some time to kill before I caught my ride back home. I went onto YouTube and started watching a string of videos, some of which were stand-up comedy. While some of them were funny but ultimately forgettable, one of them was about to send me down a rabbit hole that would change my life. The red pill was a stand-up routine by George titled “Religion is bullshit”.

    How George Carlin Helped Shape My Worldview

    Recently, I decided to take my interest in writing more seriously and start writing down my thoughts and opinions just to get it out of my head and onto some virtual paper. While I had a general idea of the topics I wanted to write about, I spent a lot of time deciding where to begin. After spending some time trying to figure out a good topic to start with, the answer became obvious: to start with the man whose creative content (one in particular) started an unexpected chain reaction in me that led me to this point in the first place: George Carlin.
