So you grabbed last year's Best Theist, and now you aren't one? Sneaky, sneaky! But don't worry, we love you just the same 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Wonderfully ironic. Last year's best theist is this year's newest atheist.
I wonder what he'll go for next year?

Are you really any different than what you were before, Jacob? All you relieved yourself was from truckload of bullshit.

That's rather noncommittal. Are you saying you are an atheist, or that you're unsure whether you are a theist or an atheist?

It's hard to say. I guess I consider that I've crossed a line. I'm only an inch away from where was before so no, I'm not dramatically different. It's just that bits have been dropping off my personal theology for a while now. Today's minor epiphany was the concept of sacrificial, agape love as an evolutionary advantage. The warm fluffiness I was enjoying may thus be nothing more than my brain rewarding me for a behaviour which gives my genes benefit, by releasing fun chemicals when I think about it. What I was thinking of as special is no more so than the kick I get from sex or chocolate.
At which point what remains no longer has the cohesion to be described as Christianity.
I'm not happy about this, but there it is.
