I have always been an Atheist which is something I don't but down to my own scrutiny of any religion, it was more the fact that I am a daydreamer in a sense. I've always lived in my own fantasy's and never in other peoples.I loved this video. I've always wanted to know what sort of mentality someone who is going through such a transition has. This was an enlightening experience.Thank you. :D

I turned Christian when I was 19, stayed Christian till when I was about 39, then I had my Stage 1, but I did not go to stage 3 until I was like 44 or 45 when I seriously question my faith. Then at I become stage 4 - 5 at around 2007.Now I am like you, finding new meanings.

I had a similar path. I was raised Catholic by my mom and went through all the motions of the Catholic faith; all the rituals and prayers, .etc. I never really bought into it, I just played along. None of it ever made sense to me. My mom isn't an extremist, by any means, and didn't mind at all when I strayed from the religion. My dad never spoke to me about "God".I had questions when I was very young like "If every religion says it's right, which one is?"

Thank you for this video.

Elegant, beautifully spoken and presented.Many parallels to my thought process as a child, although I was removed by 1 generation from religion.What this video says to me is that critical thinking is the most important things to learn in life.The question your teacher asked seems like it was formed to kick-start the critical thought process in your life and wasn't formed to demean the beliefs you had at that time.Thanks for sharing

Wow. I'm grateful my parents didn't raise me as anything. That meant I pretty much started off at stage 5. Thank you for sharing, that was awesome.

Well done!! Thank you for this video. I grew up Mormon and struggled with the same things for years. I was in my early 20s when I finally got past stage 4 and finally used the word "atheist" to describe myself for the first time. I quite liked this video. Thanks again.

Thanks cholotara — I wish you well with your own personal path.

> TheraminTrees said on 11-26-2009 at 12:35:
Ah, you were referring to the eye thing — yep, with the 7 rectangles as my starting point for the design, it had to be either the mouth or the eyes, and eyes give so much more info/expression.

> cholotara said on 11-26-2009 at 12:18:
good work. it must have taken a lot of time to produce such good work. congratulations, personally very helpful, I'm at Deism in my self doubt, trying to hang on to a belief in some manner and rationalizing my butt off

> whirlii said on 11-26-2009 at 12:08:
Cool, he is this anarchist from Canada trying to invoke mutiny. Try searching stimulators channel, he uses that eye thing too and I quite like the idea.

> TheraminTrees said on 11-26-2009 at 12:04:
Thanks whirlii. But nope, never heard of 'Stimulators videos'. All that's evoking for me is films about steroids/amphetamines ....

> whirlii said on 11-26-2009 at 11:53:
Nice work! Youve been watching Stimulators videos perhaps? Greetings from the free world o/
