Hello door!
You mean the one where I'm referring to AronRa's deconversion? It went something more along the lines of, Aron wasn't sure if the feelings he was having were a genuinely spiritual experience or not, and the preacher grabbed him by the shoulders, shook him, and said "Just keep telling yourself it's Jesus til you believe it!" It was such a blatantly dishonest thing to have said, he couldn't help but have abandoned ship after hearing it.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
