The thread title was too confusing for you? It apparently was like waving a red flag in from of a bull. I didn't see any calls to be saved. The Christian assumption is that you were drug away by deceitful forces or your weak nature. And they can't see how offense that is.I'm glad to see you responding to the ordinal post. Because that's the question to which I'd like to read the replys for. Unfortunately, as you noticed; the thread was inundated with trolls. Oddly enough most of the trolls were christians who felt offended at the nature of the thread, and the responses from posters who answered honestly. I guess it makes them feel like crusaders. But the thread is really only here to offer a place for former Christians to discuss why they left Christianity behind. Nothing more. Nothing less. Hopefully the trolls won't keep other posters from sharing thier experiences with us.I got tired of wading through ugly troll posts and decided to answer your original post. I've ignored it, laughed at it, tried a couple other beliefs..then went to Christianity.Many Americans grew up steeped in Christian culture. Went to church events. Celebrated the holidays. Even took part in the rituals.
Then... Many have an awakening, or change of heart if you will. And ultimately walk away; or reject the Christian religion out right. In the end, there are probably as many reasons as there are people...
What was yours?
For me, there is no other way. I have all the "proof" I will ever need.
Idk, I saw a different set of trolls. Were you trying to offer a "safe space" for former Christians.
jk, I really do value all peoples experiences...its just a little bit harder on here.
