How?
I must say Watson, that my 'testimony' is the exact opposite. A life of faith made me arrogant, and unwilling to OBJECTIVELY communicate with individuals of a different philosophy. I also said/did things that i am now ashamed of, and my morality was actually retarded by biblical ethics. Losing faith is the best thing that ever happened to me!
