It's so weak to just make ridiculous assumptions about people.  You don't even know me.

Why would fear take me away from the faith?  It's fear that kept me IN the faith. 

You make no attempt to understand, only to marginalize.  I can't take you seriously.

So now it's a choice, thought you just stopped. I made an observation and a comment, you and everyone else blew it all out of proportion, typical atheist behavior. Baby I've been here a number of years an have seen every excuse, whether you take me seriously of not is fine with me. By the way I didn't say fear took you away from your belief, in all honesty I have reservations you had a relationship with God.

Yep, there it is, right on cue.  The "no true Scotsman" fallacy.  "You don't believe anymore?  Well then you never REALLY believed in the first place."
In one sentence, it 1) allows the responder to feel superior, that they have belief (and therefore, the love and special favor of an omnipotent sky-daddy) and you, poor deluded ignorant scum, do not, and 2) to immediately and quickly dismiss any hint of a possibility that there could be any logical reason for your statement of disbelief.  They are not even capable of considering that the brainwashing that they are still reinforcing within themselves could possibly be broken - rather easily - in anyone else, much less the possibility of that being a positive thing.
