New iTunes version still not fully Vista-ready

Apple to Windows iTunes users: Don't install Vista yetFebruary 2, 2007
The updated version supports the upcoming Apple TV product and includes an improved album-sorting feature, but still does not fully support Windows Vista. The new download, iTunes 7.1, is available on Apple's Web site.
When Vista arrived at the end of January, Apple told Windows users that iTunes was not yet ready for Vista because of compatibility issues. In the most dire scenario outlined by Apple, users could corrupt their iPod simply by plugging it into a Vista PC running iTunes. Problems were also reported with playing back content purchased from the iTunes Store on Vista PCs, Apple said in early February.
The new version fixes several of those issues, but a few outstanding issues remain and Apple is working with Microsoft to finish the job, said Derick Mains, an Apple spokesman.
One problem that needs to be resolved is that ejecting an iPod using the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray could result in a corrupt iPod; Apple recommends that users always eject their iPods within the iTunes software. Also, iTunes is not supported on the 64-bit versions of Vista, and contacts from the Windows Address Book may not sync properly to iPods.
More information about the remaining problems, as well as tips for getting iTunes to work properly with Vista, can be found in this document on the Apple site. Apple does not have an exact time frame for when the remaining issues will be corrected, Mains said.
Microsoft's deployment of Windows Vista has run into problems with application compatibility and driver availability, frustrating some users who have made the early move to the new operating system. Businesses aren't expected to do so until much later, after they've made sure all of their internal applications will play well with Vista.

- No Excuse
- There's no excuse for Apple not having this product ready by this point. iTunes runs on more Windows machines than there are computers in the entire installed Mac base. That tells me Apple is ignorant of their priorities. I've got two iPods and Vista x64, not to mention all of my 25,000 songs are encoded in AAC, so this needs to get fixed.

Most beta testers indicated that iTunes worked with Vista. But

- Why not blame Apple?
- A few years back Real went before Congress and testified that the latest Microsoft OS purposely broke their code. A few months later, it was revealed that it was Real's poor code that was at fault. The same is happening here, rather than point the finger at poor Apple code, everybody wants to blame MS. One of the issues is that calendar data does not sync properly. What could MS possibly do to cause music to sync OK, but not calendar data?
Vista has compatibility issues, but the Apple fans, rather than question if iTunes is possibly at fault, they immediately blame MS.

- but even Microsoft had programs that wouldn't run on Vista when it was released. For example, Vista wasn't supported on Microsoft SQL server until about 2 weeks ago.
It could be Apple's fault, but odds are it's a Vista problem.

- Uninformed Opinions
- Lots of folks here are eager to blame Apple or Microsoft based on little more than who they like better. But I haven't seen any actual information on whether Microsoft changed important support late in the development cycle, whether the corruption is due to a Vista driver bug or Apple code, or even what the exact nature of the problem is.
Personally, I suspect most of these are Vista issues, since 1. eject from within iTunes works, so we know Apple can write code that works, 2. iTunes works great on XP, which is theoretically compatible, while Vista is a 1.0 product, 3. Apple has pretty sharp engineers, and they wouldn't jeopardize their iPod market by not fixing this stuff, while 4. Microsoft has every motivation to want to break iTunes and it's been proven (in court) that they're willing to use this kind of tactic.
But I don't have any real information either. So really, it's up to journalists to do a little more than regurgitate PR speak and report on factual information instead of just posting this kind of story.

MS didn't break iTunes. In fact it sounds like using iTunes is the only safe way to use your iPod. Using the Vista method is what causes the damage.
If I owned an iPod (hell no!) I would be leary of using any MS option and would absolutely install and use the iTunes method, so this will actually drive people to iTunes, who might have otherwise not used it. (We know most iPods contain very little iTunes purchased material anyway.)

- First I ask this question. Does anyone have any shred of evidence that MS did something with the final build to stop Itunes from working?
We do know that MS has gone out of their way to help software companies make Vista compatible with their applications?..why should they do otherwise. Microsoft has all kinds of FREE support options for software vendors to help them make their applications Vista ready. For Pete?s sake it was out for almost a year to the public. They had so many downloads they had to cut it off.
We also know that Apple has publicly warned people not to upgrade to Vista if they have an Ipod, and so has Symantec?.both companies don?t want Vista to succeed.
I personally think that in the case of some software and hardware vendors they use Vista as a way to exploit users into buying a new piece of hardware/software when they could easily provide a free driver or software patch. This happened to me with Nero. I had to buy a new version to work with Vista. I cant even tell what is different?visually or feature wise. Good thing I bought it off of Ebay for $6. HP is famous for not supporting printers that might be a year old by not coming out with a driver or support software for months?.hoping you will just by another printer.
This all happened with XP as well?..
http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2003p018id78073.htm
"In fact, not supporting a new operating system is a tactic used by some manufacturers in order to get you to upgrade your current product. Microsoft released an avalanche of technical details, driver guidelines, and beta software to manufacturers a full year before Windows XP shipped in order to give them as much as lead time as possible. In a random survey of legacy (pre-2001) printer and scanner drivers available for XP, we noticed a definite support trend that favored the higher end (and higher profit) devices and left entry level models (or those commonly given away with Win95/98 PC's) unsupported?
Apple had the time to make Itunes work with Vista, they chose not too. They will fix the problem not MS?but they had to create some FUD for the script of their next lame Mac vs PC commercial. Thank God for DVR?s.

- Not a shred of evidence to support this contention
- Besides the fact that you do not have a shred of evidence to
support this contention, the facts of the matter are that, first,
iTunes worked fine with the betas, which obviates your first
point, second, Apple does not have similar motivations to
Symantec, since they LOSE market by not releasing drivers, and
third, the fact that improper device syncing can trash your iPod's
directory files makes Apple's advice far from self serving,
baseless conspiracy theories aside.
As other's have pointed out, without specific information about
what is happening, your speculations regarding responsibility
are vacuous at best.

- iTunes crashed my Vista Business computer as soon as a video download completed. I accidentally found a temporary solution. Set iTunes to save the downloaded video onto a removable media device (I used a 4 gb SD card plugged into my laptop's card reader). I then downloaded a video, it completed without crashing, played without crashing, and I could close iTunes without any error messages. It seems the problem has to with saving the files to the hard drive. Hopefully a future iTunes version will fix it.

- DO NOT USE iTUNES OR QUICKTIME ON YOUR WINDOWS VISTA OR WINDOWS XP COMPUTER
- DO NOT download or use APPLE's ITUNES FOR WINDOWS VISTA OR WINDOWS XP!
The saying "There is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch" couldn't be more true in the case of iTunes/Quicktime from Apple Inc.
iTunes& Quicktime for Windows contains Spyware -- software used to track usage of your computer and alter its operation. In addition, running these programs on Windows Vista can often crash your computer.
Personal information is transfered by Quicktime/iTunes, without your knowledge, to Apple computer, and its marketing partners, over the Internet.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE iTUNES OR QUICKTIME INSTALLED ON YOUR NEW DESKTOP COMPUTER OR LAPTOP YOU CAN REMOVE IT BY GOING TO THE "PROGRAMS AND FEATURES" CONTROL PANEL (in VISTA), OR IF YOU ARE USING XP, BY GOING TO THE "ADD/REMOVE SOFTWARE" CONTROL PANEL.
How Apple's spywhere scheme works:
Since at least the year 2000, the Quicktime (and now iTunes) installer from Apple installed several programs, without the user's permission or knowledge, which permanently altered the user's Windows system.
In my case, I tried removing some of the components, but still, each time I visit ANY website that has Quicktime support, something installed by iTunes causes a couple of invisible background processes (qttask.exe and ituneshelper.exe) to get installed in my computer's Startup Programs list and launched. The claim for "ituneshelper.exe" is that it "required" for burning CD's, but it does not make sense why you need an INVISIBLE BACKGROUND PROGRAM running on your system 24 hours a day just so you can burn CD's once in a while. No other CD burning software has such a requirement.
The other program "qttask.exe" is also spyware with apparently no other purpose.
I have since switched to alternatives (see below), but I was still stuck with Apple's spyware for weeks before I was able to remove it.
IF YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO PLAY QUICKTIME (AND OTHER TYPES) OF MOVIES, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD "VIDEOLAN" FROM http://www.videolan.org/
As far as music downloading service goes, there are many many alternatives including MusicMatch.com, Rahpsody.com, etc...
Napster is also back.

- Stop blaming Microsoft
- Okay, this is bad for me too. Although I don't have an iPod, I have to use iTunes for my phone. I have a Sony Ericsson W810i and it only accepts AAC and MP3.
However, I use WMP11 for music playback.
This sucks for me because I have the cash to buy a good Vista laptop but I'd still have to use my old one.
But there is no reason you should blame Microsoft. I mean the Realplayer thing was proved to be false.
For all we know, iTunes may be the one at fault here. Come on, iTunes hate Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player has more users than iTunes.
You iPod people really need to get a playsforsure player instead. It's so much cheaper to get legal downloads with WMP11 (URGE subscription) than iTunes.
Come on, Apple hates the fact that Vista is great; it could be a conspiracy or something.
Think of all the possibilities.
If you'd remember, there was a time when there had been reports of tons of iPods that had viruses in them and can only be activated through a PC and not a Mac.

- You might need to make sure the metadata tags are written in

Now your editing may work again.
As for the problems you are having, be sure to send bug reports
to Apple. They actually read them and work on the things that
are most serious and/or widespread. These problems you are
experiencing may be due to interaction with other programs you
have installed, but it will still help to report them.
You can also go to the Apple support forums at apple.com.

Is my Ex-Girlfriend Bipolar?
Okay this really weird to ask, but I am looking for help. My girlfriend of a few months has dumped me for the second time in two weeks. Throughout... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
If she was bipolar, she would also have frequent mood swings throughout hours, not just changing her mood over days. When she is happy, is she EXTREMELY elevated, almost to the point of restlessness? And after a few hours, does she plummet to the lowest of the low?
You should really suggest for her to seek help, but NOT during a fight or something, make sure it's when you two are relaxed or holding each other or something.
When she gets on medication, she should be x1000 better, honestly.
If she already IS on medication, then she may need to switch the type she's using, or, and probably more likely, she needs to see a therapist to talk about her life, since her problem may not even be so much due to the chemicals in her brain. (This is IF she is already on meds.)
Hahah well she broke up with me already, but thanks for the answer. I guess the question is do I want to be with her again.
Mood swings within days is supposed to be something similar to bipolar but not. Bipolar in particular is mood swings usually over weeks or months, though sometimes over days. I'm sure it's something else when it changes by the hour. Not that it makes it any better, just saying.
What Girls Said 3
Well, first of all, people on the internet can't diagnose your (ex)gf with bipolar disorder.
But anyways, I am actually a non-medicated bipolar :): and she seems to have a lot in common with me, sadly. The back and forth in the relationship sounds exactly like something I would do.
The signs are there...
Why don't you just talk to her about it?
Thanks for the answer and I will probably talk with her about this but the breakup is too new.
Sounds like it could be something like bipolar disorder, depression (it's possible she was depressed the whole time but just tried to pull herself out of it every now and again, rather than it being a manic phase) or maybe borderline. But again, we're not doctors on here. All you can do is suggest she sees one ad leave it at that. If you want to be with her you'll need to support her through it and if not then leave her to it in peace.
Another option being that she was on medication for depression but didn't always take it. If there were bouts were she didn't take it she would have been moody etc but then perhaps if she started taking it again she started to get more loving towards you.
What Guys Said 1
Sounds like trouble, whatever her problem is. Bipolar, borderline personality disorder, who knows?
Check out shrink4men.blogspot.com The site is by a female psychiatrist who writes about the damage that psycho chicks can do to men. A few years ago, I dated a girl who twisted my head around so bad I thought I'd never recover (I needed over a year to get over her). So I sympathize with your confusion.

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) December 11, 2013
Sales Momentum, a leader in sales training programs, today announced the availability of its New Product Sales Coaching software package. Developed in collaboration with Covocative, the New Product Sales Coaching software package can help B2B companies drive new product revenue.
Bringing a new product to market is never easy. According to Richard Ruff, co-founder of Sales Momentum, "Companies spend a king's ransom on creating new products. Yet, when it comes to investing in their sales forces to sell new products, the steam seems to run out of the new product launch effort – and the anticipated sales numbers suffer as a result."
But it doesn't have to be that way. Sales Momentum's New Product Sales Coaching software package can help companies drive sales revenue by leveraging the sales knowledge of sales managers. According to Janet Spirer, co-founder of Sales Momentum, "Sales managers are pivotal to sales success. This sales coaching software allows companies to provide sales managers and their sales teams with knowledge about how to sell the new product – like market drivers, potential objections, key player concerns. It introduces a systematic way to leverage new product sales success through sales coaching."
Take a product tour to learn more about the New Product Sales Coaching software package – and see how your company can drive more revenue in 2014 when you bring new products to the marketplace. Click here.

What's the difference between a trekkie and a trekker?

AFAIC, the "Trekkie" has always been a more juvenile distinction from "Trekker" (like a fan who just loves it, versus a fan who is more serious). But, if someone calls me either one, I don't really mind.
That's what "trekkers" tried to tell themselves, to look down on other fans as somehow more nerdy or fanatic about it, but it's a fake distinction made after the fact.
As others have pointed out, "trekker" was just invented because the term "trekkie" had come to have a negative connotation. Kind of sad that fans didn't just decide to stick with the original term and own it.

Final Score: Texas Tech 24, (14) Missouri 17
Lubbock, TX (Sports Network) - Taylor Potts threw three touchdown passes, as
the Texas Tech Red Raiders scored 21 unanswered points to take down the 14th-
ranked Missouri Tigers, 24-17, in Big 12 action at Jones AT&T Stadium.
Potts completed 19-of-28 passes for 188 yards and an interception for the Red
Raiders (5-4, 3-4 Big 12), who bounced back from a 45-27 loss to Texas A&M
last week. Steven Sheffield connected on 11-of-20 passes for 99 yards.
Lyle Leong caught nine passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns, while Detron
Lewis hauled in eight passes for 64 yards a score. Baron Batch carried the
ball 28 times for 134 yards.
"Real proud for this football team," Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville
said. "They've been through a lot all year long. They fought hard, and finally
things started to click for us on both sides of the ball at the same time."
Blaine Gabbert completed 12-of-30 passes for 95 yards for the Tigers (7-2,
3-2), who have lost two in a row after starting the season with seven straight
Kendial Lawrence carried the ball six times for 96 yards and a touchdown,
while Marcus Murphy rushed for 74 yards and a score on three carries in
Trailing 17-3, Texas Tech put together an impressive 16-play, 82-yard drive
before the half. Faced with a 4th-and-2 from the Missouri 23, Ben McRoy rushed
for nine yards. Three plays later, Lewis caught an eight-yard TD pass to make
it 17-10 at the break.
The Red Raiders carried that momentum over to the third quarter. The home team
got the ball to start the period and needed just six plays to score. Leong
caught a 36-yard pass before hauling in a 16-yard touchdown pass for a 17-17
Texas Tech's next possession also resulted in a touchdown. The Red Raiders did
not face one third-down situation on a 12-play, 92-yard drive. Leong capped
the march with a five-yard TD catch for a 24-17 lead with 6:46 to go.
Missouri failed to cross midfield in the second half until midway through the
fourth. A short punt gave the Tigers the ball at the Texas Tech 48 with 7:19
The Tigers got to the 33-yard line before Gabbert threw incomplete passes on
third and fourth down.
The Red Raiders were able to run out the remaining four minutes for the come-
from-behind victory.
"First of all, I want to congratulate Texas Tech on a great game. They did the
things necessary to win," Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel said. "I thought we
had a chance to get back in it at the end of the third quarter and fourth
quarter but they had that seven-point lead and we struggled on offense. We had
trouble making plays and moving the football. I think it was a combination of
a lot of things."
It took the Tigers just three plays to find the end zone, as Murphy's 69-yard
rushing touchdown made it 7-0 early on. Lawrence added a 71-yard rushing TD
with 8:36 left in the quarter to give Missouri a 14-0 lead.
The Red Raiders responded with an eight-play drive. Matt Williams capped the
march with a 42-yard field goal to make it a 14-3 contest two minutes later.
Grant Ressel made a 27-yard field goal to give the Tigers a 17-3 advantage
with about five minutes left until half.
Game Notes
Texas Tech beat the Tigers for the first time since 2002. Missouri holds a 5-3
edge in the all-time series.

Turducken; manifested anger towards birds ignored due to its deliciousness.
Hmmm..where to begin...I'm from PA originally, with the majority of the family in the northeast or along the East Coast, though I've become the southern outpost after moving to the area for a job that has turned into a career. I grew up outside a small town (we had a traffic light and a pizza place) with our neighborhood being one of the few large ones in the area, but only an hour from Philly one way and Manhattan the other, leading to a nice mix of country and city. People ask if I'm a Philly fan, but thanks to a rabid fan who lived next-door, I still have an unfortunate prejudice against Philadelphia teams, regardless of which sport is in question. The family is from NY and MA, which led to some Yankee/Red Sox consternation but I've quietly been brought back into the fold of the Red Sox nation. Despite finding myself in the absolute heart of college basketball country, I've embraced minor league baseball and have so far visited the home parks of the Bulls, Mudcats, Grasshoppers and others, while learning to embrace college hoops and UNC sports in general. I usually get a number of friends out to games a few times a year, though some others have gotten me into the Hurricanes and we've been to a number of games over the past few seasons. In general though, I see these as not just events, but as a way to get together with friends and chat and laugh for a couple of hours with an ongoing diversion in the background, and really, isn't that the point? I still can't comprehend the allure of Nascar though - and I take that as a good sign! I'm a bit reserved but I warm up pretty quickly, and I've taken to spending a few hours a day grabbing a coffee after work and catching up with friends most days. My friends describe me as loyal, honest, intelligent, perpetually slightly late, a procrastinator and afflicted with bad luck. The luck may be bad, but I now have some great stories, and can laugh at past follies, misadventures or accidents, which I think is important. They also describe my sense of humor as dry but funny, and on occasion, hilarious. I enjoy learning new things and more about myself, for example a recent conversation with a friend didn't change my stance on an issue, but really opened my eyes to his differing point of view. I'm looking to meet someone who shares some of my interests, but who definitely has their own and who's going to challenge me, and hopefully change and grow at the same time with me. Oh, and I realize I'm wearing hats in most of my pictures due to occasions/sporting events; I am showing a lot more scalp than I used to. ;)

Last month the Oakland Raiders selected wide receiver Juron Criner in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Since then, Criner has been impressive in both the Raiders rookie mini–camp and the offseason team activities. Carson Palmer has noticed and is advising Criner along the way.
After the OTAs this week, Criner spoke about the relationship he and Palmer have developed and what Palmer is doing to help him along the way.
"He has been bringing me along," Criner said. "He said he has seen plenty of young guys that show up and think they've arrived then start to fade out.

I want to loose my self in the perfect chaos of dark hair and lighting
My mom says I'm very special, I guess you'd have to find out. I'm not here for flimsy people, what ever I do in life has to have depth, we all know that the deeper the better, at least that's how I like it. So please if all you want to do is chat online, I'm not that person. I don't want to waste your time and more importantly my time. I like to be around positive people who like to progress and are not afraid of taking chances. I graduated with my masters in mathematics from FIU (Miami) and I currently live in Miami. I work as a software engineer for Florida power and light. I'm here because it's a great way to meet people that meet certain requirements, the next best thing to actually building your own date, I'm very selective with the people I want around me. I'm very easy going, I prefer to do things that are fulfilling when I'm getting to know someone. Not go to a bar and get drunk on a first date, not even go to a bar, let's do something that will bring us as close as we can get on the first date, that way we can really know who we are. I'm a homely person, but I love the gym and playing sports. I like going out to eat to new places, all kinds of foods are welcomed. I'm very artistic, so I'm up for anything that has do with art. I'm a writer and musician, guitar and piano, music has been a strong companion in my life. Please keep this in mind when you talk to me, I'm not your typical Miami guy, I want more than just something superficial... I want everything. I'm looking for someone who is open minded, and just open in general would be nice. Charity, family and education are very important to me. Let's be good to each other, I have been really fortunate to have met really cool people here, I can't complain, but I have heard some stories. "We are here to be enthralled, to be inspired by someone who we have never met and might not really exist. But what if they do, what if you are that person? What is the price of inspiration and complete submersion" P.S I look alot better in person, I have been told this by the people that I have met so far, apparently I don't photograph well, I don't know if that makes a difference but I get it on every date so let's get it out of the way

Despite the rhetoric, there appears no intention on the part of the government to take our fiscal crisis seriously or abandon the idea that we should run the rest of the world. – Ron Paul March 3, 2013 By: Laureen Trent Continue reading

Reconciling the reality of my experiences with church teachings on life
My de-conversion came about as a result of trying to reconcile the reality of my experiences with what I had been taught by the church about life. In reading others' stories I see a lot of common threads. So I know that I am not alone in that my slide into nonbelief started with "being hurt". I used to think that if the church (of whatever creed) would listen to those of us who had suffered as a result of trying to live its teachings, that maybe a lot of de-conversions could have been prevented. I no longer believe this.
Basically, I was brought up Catholic, the conservative kind. On the way I detoured into a Jesus People group, the Charismatic Movement, and a couple of others before I finally gave up on organized religion.
Ok, so why did I leave? Well, it is a long story. I have a condition called Asperger's Syndrome. Some of you may be familiar with it, some of you may not. It is a form of autism. Except that when I was growing up they did not call it that. We Asperger's people can be very intelligent but we suffer from social deficits. I did not realize that I was different until I started school. That's when the persecution began (and I do not use the term lightly). Here is my view on school prayer: I went to a Catholic school where they went to Mass daily and I went to a secular public school where God was mentioned not at all, and I was treated equally badly in both. Not one adult in authority ever stood up and put a stop to what was going on. In fact I had one teacher who joined in the persecution and actually encouraged the class to pick on me…

Suppose God does exist. I don't need god. God doesn't need me. I'm okay with this.
Leaving "the faith" was a long process for me, around seven years to be exact (the universe has a funny sense of humor). It started with my questioning the concept of sin. At many times during my Christendom, I wondered why something I did was wrong. I could not reconcile how something that I enjoyed, something seemingly harmless, could be grounds for damnation. Furthermore, I could not reconcile how honest mistakes, such as letting the word "god" or "Jesus Christ!" slip, could be grounds for an eternity of torture and punishment. I also didn't understand how simply believing something could change the rules.
For a long time, I simply just ignored those raging questions or accepted the Sunday School answer that god didn't like it anymore than us, but that was just the way it had to be. As time went on it became more difficult to ignore. With each Sunday the questions screamed at me louder until I could not longer ignore or accept the answers given to me. Being born into "the faith," I was attached to all the notions that Christianity (more so fundamentalist Christianity) had given me. Because of this I blamed the church first. I thought that the nature of sin had been distorted.
I rationalized that a sin is not so much an action that is inherently bad but rather it was the result of that action that granted it the classification of sin. I thought that a sin was something that brought us away from god. It made sense and was compatible with the life I wanted to live at that time. I clung to that notion for as long as I could. Slowly but surely my idea about what is good and what is bad slowly eroded. Well not exactly. They were never really my ideas. I always had my own feelings about right and wrong. Really those ideas of right and wrong I had adopted had been replacements for my true feelings on the subject…

My Stumble into Agnosticism
When I first started blogging, I found it difficult to articulate my current perspective on religion. Thus, I wanted to use my blog to explain my spiritual development, my journey, and how I got to such a complicated, cosmological place. Through writing entries, and commenting and reviewing other religious blogs, I have found that I am more sure of my position than I originally believed. I now feel the strong desire to articulate clearly my contemporary viewpoints. However, my spiritual history has not yet been entirely fleshed out.
And so, I am going to continue on, explaining my spiritual development.
Through out my life, I gradually began to refute and dismiss certain religious claims.
I didn't believe Jesus was a God. I didn't believe I needed to confess to a Priest. I didn't think St. Peter stood at the gates of Heaven with a book that listed who could enter. I didn't believe in Creationism. I didn't believe in the Garden of Eden, Noah's flood, or Jesus' resurrection.
It was just a matter of time before I contemplated rejecting religion all together.
Starting in high school, I started to identify myself as non-Christian. But I was still very much tied to a lot of the Catholic ethics and morals. The Catholic guilt ran through my mind everyday.
I was so conflicted with my Christianity…

My Conversion and De-Conversion Story
I had a conversation with someone lately via email and they were asking about how I became a Christian and how I ended up leaving the Christian faith. In most cases, Christians do not see how someone could have been a "true Christian" if they end up leaving the faith. So, when they hear that I am no longer a Christian, they assume that I had a false faith of some kind. I wanted to briefly share my story of how I became a Christian and how I came to not be a Christian. I know that many Christians may still feel as though I was not a "real" Christian but there is not much I can do about that. The bottom line for me is that I was honestly a Christian and believed in Jesus and the Bible with all of my heart. I left the faith because I feel that I was bound by my conscience to be honest with myself about what I could and could not truly believe anymore.
I grew up in a Christian home but…was not serious about my faith as a teenager at all. I was into drugs and alcohol quite a bit and I had a pretty bad experience on some heavy drugs which scared me into stopping. As I sobered up I had this intense feeling that I was not right with God. I felt that if I were to die that i was likely going to go to hell. I KNEW what I had to do to get right with God from my Christian upbringing and so after a few "divine appointments" of meeting people who invited me to church with them I accepted and went. I KNEW that this was the right thing to do and I FELT that as I heard the gospel and responded that I was forgiven of my sin and assured of eternal life because of the atoning sacrifice of Christ in my behalf on the cross. I accepted this by faith and my life totally changed…

De-converts: Are Christians Really as Bad as You Think?
I am a Christian who reads this blog quite a bit. However, I find that the debates seem to always go back to the uselessness of faith. This is kind of strange – on a personal level – like Christian faith is 'bad' or something. It is this issue that I would like to 'flesh out'.
How is it that the Christian faith is something 'bad'? I cannot find concrete reasons to believe this. Science cannot provide this reason – it cannot because science does not delve into morality and immorality per se. Science is really of no use in this debate.
(a) The core Christian faith teachings deal with moral ideals – like the 'do nots' of murder and adultery or 'love your neighbour as yourself'. I cannot find places where the teachings actually allow for the immoral behaviour of someone committed to this faith. We know that it happens – but any small reading in the gospels will reveal they have no right to treat people like crap – none whatsoever.
(b) The Christian faith, if it is bad, does not produce very many bad people (per capita). I see the odd bad person crop up – that will commit murder in the name of God or picket funerals. However, they are the exceptions to the norm (deviations from the standard)…

Book Feature: Christian No More by Jeff Mark
This book is written primarily for Christians who are questioning their faith. It mixes a story of my own de-conversion with facts about the Bible that, in my opinion, basically show that the Bible cannot possibly be real; it couldn't have been written or inspired by a god. I show how the Bible completely contradicts many known scientific facts, and I talk about similar ancient myths that clearly served as an influence for the old stories in the Bible.
I also talk about the theology of Hell and how Christianity works primarily to scare people into submission with the threat of Hell. I spend a good amount of time on this, as that's usually the number one fear of people questioning religion. And I approach this one from many directions. First, I show that even believing Christians have little reason to believe in Hell, as the mentions are very few and vague in the Bible itself. But then I show how those few parts of the Bible are nothing more than rip-offs of other religions, and in turn cannot possibly be real. I logically and systematically break it all down and, in my opinion, leave little doubt that it's all a big myth.
The goal of the book is basically to show that there's absolutely no reason to be afraid. I show how the Bible isn't true, and how that means Christianity in turn isn't real. And at the end of the book I give tips on dealing with the emotional difficulties of letting go. This site is mentioned in my book…

Reasons why I de-converted and now consider myself an atheist
I would like to share with the d-C readers, the primary reasons why I de-converted and why I no longer have to consider what some mysterious, mythical, and hideously confusing god feels about me.
- Watching my religious mother and both aunts die of cancer, while begging Jesus/god to save them, and he did not. Not only that but I also worked in the pediatric ward of a cancer hospital in Houston and watched entire churches praying for god to save babies from cancer, and he did not.
- Knowing that between 1900 and 1999, more than 180 million "good" Christians and Jews died in wars begging, pleading and praying to god to spare their lives. And their imaginary god did not.
