Lion, just to address this post about your theory of Pad leaving atheism:
1. I didn't say it was an implausible theory.
2. Fine. I shouldn't have said that it was an "argument." It was just a theory.
With that out of the way now, do you also think that your theory is the most plausible explanation for why Pad left this forum (and perhaps even the internet altogether) or do you think that your theory is as equally likely to be true as all the other possible explanations?
That's okay. However, just because this theory sounds most optimistic to you doesn't mean that it is the most likely one to be true (if that's what you're trying to imply).
Secondly, if Pad did leave atheism (which is not 100% improbable, of course), then you still have the problem of having to explain why he would specifically choose Christianity as opposed to something like deism or any of the other religions.
