One Year Later
Approximately one year ago today (October 1st 2007) I became and atheist. Every now and then I educate myself or I get educated. For instance, about a month ago (August 26th 2008) I became a vegetarian. And about a month ago (September 2nd 2008) I became a democrat.
A lot has changed for me since I became an atheist but my overall life has changed very little. I haven’t been disowned by anyone nor have I had to defend myself physically. I started writing down my thoughts the day I became an atheist and that eventually became BrandNewAtheist.com. Then I created my Twitter account to post small thoughts and sarcastic comments. I have a small following on Twitter which means a few people are occasionally interested in what I say.
What has changed the most for me is the way I think. Once I removed anything supernatural most of the ways I think about things changed in an instant. It has made me so much happier than I ever was before. It’s like being released from a mental prison and knowing they can never put you away again.
I thank all of you who have befriended be on Twitter and commented on my site.

BNA, you do yourself a disservice, you have a huge following on twitter. You’ve done very well in the one year you’ve been active, probably more successful than myself in the same period. Keep up the good work.
