I could say any university and it wouldn't prove anything. I'm real sorry but I don't see the need to give any information out about my university.

Curious..WHY?? Because you aren't going to one?? And this is another lie on your behalf??

Very curious for an Australian mate.

Oh great. I got caught out. I'm just your typical aussie living in the outback. Luckily my pet kangaroo has satellite dishes for ears hence why I have an internet connection..

I'll see you around the forum =)

Alternately: you could have introduced yourself without any of the recent drama included.

How does one go from being a hardcore christian to a nontheist from reading a single post?

Who ever mentioned it was a single post that did it?

Figured it might be a singular post... was it then a singular discussion? You mentioned that Phil deconverted you, hence my figuring. I'll say it again: someone deconverted you... and the primary way to do that on a forum is with a post.

I have to wonder, though: were my beliefs shaken so easily, I should never have a unique opinion.

I was a member of that forum for at least a good 3 months. I came in with no previous experience of talking to knowledgeable people on the subject so I had an extremely vague view of the world - quite literally.

Talking to people that have actually read a great deal challenged me from the word 'go'. Phil did a great deal because he knows like I do that Christianity is an historical religion. This is what made me think it was the absolute truth because I thought I was reading the words of disciples and what they saw. They had even written down what Jesus said for God's sake! But I've always been a man who believes in truth with tangible proof. When I finally accepted that the gospels were nothing but hearsay from anonymous people then I realised it's all just wishful thinking.

I was very strong in faith, but unlike most Christians, I believed it to be backed up by tangible evidence. As we all know, there's not a single religion that can come close to proving theirs is the right one. Funny thing is that Christianity seemed so easy to prove because Hercules was the son of.. I mean Jesus..... was the....

It was a process, not just a single post by a single person.
