I'm turning back to Christianity
|
Typical Atheists changing their mind when they want to be forgiven for their sins, then they will be born again Atheists soon enough
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
Can't believe a word people say, "this" day.

Since everyone is born an atheist, when one becomes a theist through indoctrination the only truly born again epitaph can strictly be used the way you have. One can be a born again atheist. The same cannot be stated for the statement of being a born again Christian, because it is a contradiction in terms. One is not born a theist. Theism is taught. Therefore, the only correct terminology is that one converts to theism.

It's only normal for young and unformed minds like yours to go through a phase like that. We all have our doubts, that's completely normal!!! As long as in the end you realize that deep down in your heart you know that there is no God, all is well.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I can imagine a world where there is no god concept and neither atheism and theism have meaning there. So I guess that'd be what it's like for a baby, but especially so because they can't even understand the concept until maybe Elementary school age. I don't really care for the born as Atheist idea even though it's technically true, but, we are all born not believing anything not just stupid ideas like theism. For example, I wouldn't say I'm born an A-Fairyist as a baby even though it's technically true but I didn't know anything as a baby so I think that point of moot.

I KNEW this was a bait and switch thread!!
At least it wasn't as mean as the Bill Nye is Dead thread with the doctored youtube video...
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
Goddamn som' bitch!
