Talk:Why I Became an Atheist/@comment-5305897-20180323210745

This is a "meh" story at best. First of all, the narrator mounts a pitiful defense of atheism, mostly because its the same condescending sanctimony we Jesus folk get all the time. Second, I think his motive is poor. I've learned about various cults, especially ones that invoke Christian motifs, but I don't think tha tbeing part of a cult is reason to abandon religion entirely. That might just be me tho.

Also, somewhat predictable. I was expecting some kind of sodomy or torture though, so the dog thing threw me for a loop. Credit where credit is due.

I also have to disagree with WWR Fatx below. The vivid wordplay wasn't really there. Just, meh.

Listened to MCP read this. After going through it myself, it reads like a knockoff Slimebeast story. The narrator's sanctimonious high-mindedness of his beliefs, the "here's what this story isn't" introduction, and the detailed but not palpable emotion. It smells of AbD.

4/10.
