Then over time, I slowly woke up, there is no "god" or atleast not the one made up by any person. There is no need to worry about heaver or hell, because they don't exist. There is no psycho overbearing judgmental god testing your faith. This is life, there are good and bad people, there is a not a reason for random bad stuff that happens. Its not some god playing with our lives, its just stuff that happens.
Ah...what a relief, what a burden was lifted from my shoulders. I am in control of myself, I don't have to play to some god's sick wet dream of love.

That being said, converting for the sake of a "love" is a bad idea. Your religion, what you choose to believe should be for yourself. What's important in the relationship? Good sex! And if religion is messing that up...get it the fuck out!

Nice job, MTP. And once you have been 'converted' or awakened as you said, theres no going back. Once you have realized how truly silly Man's Religion and belief in Man's God is, how do you possibly decide to participate in it? One caveat though, the act of praying, especially in deep prayer, like meditation, can actually be beneficial to ones health.
