the choices


A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

-          Aristotle

Why would you follow something that you know is wrong? Would you rather follow what is right for you, or would you follow what people wants you do to? Are you in the right path or are you blinded by what you supposed to believed in.

A man named “Jerry DeWitt” wrote an article about himself being tormented by what he believed in “From Bible-Belt Pastor to Atheist Leader” (http://old.richarddawkins.net/articles/646833-from-bible-belt-pastor-to-atheist-leader) his article is solemnly about him becoming an atheist and how he fined himself unable to comfort and help a woman named “Natosha Davis” a fellow preacher and a friend being a priest and all, he find the courage to let his true emotion and what he really wants to do to his life, in his article he said that he join a online network named “the clergy project” this online network is created for those clergies that no longer believe in god, through this maybe he can relate to people like him that is telling themselves what are they doing, what are their purpose in life.

“DeWitt” quickly repurposed his preacher techniques, sharing his reverse-conversion story and his thoughts on “the five stages of disbelief” making it uproar in “free thinker” gathering around the bibles-belt, like Houston and Little Rock; he made a name for himself, people quickly notice him and they begun to seek guidance from being religious doubters from there with the help of “Dawkins” and “Hitchens” he made progress in the atheist world even if he has a “dyslexia”, he prove that even if his a atheist he can still help and make a difference.( http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/magazine/from-bible-belt-pastor-to-atheist-leader.html?pagewanted=5&_r=3&smid=go-share)
