Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Testimonies: Why I am an athiest
5 of 36

I chose to be an atheist for what, to many atheists, must seem a contradiction. I want a faith.

3 of 4

Lord, when, oh when, will Keanu Reeves shut up and just produce? He has been attached with some truly great ideas and adaptations. Jonny Mnemonic, A Scanner Darkly, and Constantine were all great in their original forms and the idea of seeing these on the big screen was exciting. The Matrix was a great idea, and reinvigorated...
