Having being an Agnostic Atheist is not my licence to go helter skelter without any rules. On the contrary, because I am now free-falling, I have to adhere to a stricter set of rules.
I am now my very own voice of reason. Therefore if previously I said no to 3 Cs, after I am an atheist I still adhere to the abstinence.
I made a mistake in my early days thinking that atheists are people without principles. Now that I am one I think that is a big misconception even among the atheists on this matter.
As an atheist I have a louder voice of reason. If before I am an atheist 3 Cs are bad for me, now more than ever they are also bad.
The major difference is previously when I did it, it was sinful. The burden of responsibility is not on me. Even if I did transgress it's the devil who made me do it.
Nowadays I don't do it because it is downright hazardous for my health. Cancer, psychosis and STD are serious repercussions. I will not endanger myself and my family because of some stupid temptations.
Being an atheist is to me is about freedom from past limiting believe. No more hangups carried over throughout the generations. Having to practice outdated practices and to accept dogmas that are no more sensible.
I just want to be free to look at the world through fresh perspective again.
I however don't condone organized atheism and militant atheists. I think a lot of atheists misunderstood atheism with antitheist.
I am not against anybody. Show me the evidence and I keep on adding that to my knowledge bank. Somewhere down the line when I need reference, I'll revisit. That is why the best book from Richard Dawkins is in my opinion not God Delusion but rather The Greatest Show on Earth.

I cannot even convince Yati that Muhammad was a liar. Even with evidence, she refuses to accept. Talk about blind faith.
