I had over a week to work on it and I didn't even start writing the thing until today

I gave a guy in my class some pencil lead and he and his friend went on about how nice of a person I am
what is high school -
it was weird but it did make me genuinely smile and I can not remember the last time I genuinely smiled at a classmate
usually it's that awkward no-lips smile because I don't want to offend them but I want them to stop talking
nice -
Yayyyy smiling is good
I'm glad they realize you are a nice cactus -
I see these people struggling with their belief in a god and I guess I never really had that struggle. Not to that extent, at least.
I was twelve-years-old when I became an atheist and it's actually because of someone on this website. barberbob was in some debate with a Christian user and I remember clicking on the thread because I thought the Christian user was going to absolutely destroy the atheist user's argument. What I found, however, was completely the opposite. I remember clicking in and out of that thread because I couldn't believe that what I was reading made so much sense. I desperately clung to the Christian user's argument but, as I read, the logic of bob's argument made too much sense. I was under the covers reading this on my DSi because I was a loser and, after reading some more, closed up the DSi and just laid in bed for a while, staring up at the dark. I remember I did have some denial but, at the end of all my contemplation, I remember clearly thinking: I don't believe in God.
For me, my transition from Christian to atheist was fairly quick and easy. Looking at the logical side of things and considering a scientific and factual argument rather than a faith-based one, it was clear (at least to me) that there is no way that the Christian god exists. My life has been better for it. I don't need to shame myself or others in order to feel accepted. I don't need to cling onto pure faith in order to feel loved. I don't need a higher being to feel valuable. I do have other issues that prevent me from being completely happy, but no god is going to cure my dad's alcoholism and evaporate my OCD. Either way, I'd rather be somewhat unhappy and know the truth than trick myself into believing in a god for some false happiness. Besides, it will be that much sweeter when I finally get to where I want to be and know that I did it myself, not a deity. I've never looked back, even though we went to church every Sunday and I was in the youth group, choir, and was the acolyte.
but that's just me and I would never try to convert other people to believing what I do -
I feel so sick
I need Joe -
Have no fear
Joe is here -
hold on let me just disappear for hours at a time
