Former agnostic, now Christian

[Justtristo]

Hello. Welcome to the forums.

For the record, and up front-

I am incapable of sincerely believing that you were once a skeptical agnostic, and are now a Christian. I know a lot of Christians just like to say that because it adds impact to their claim of a supernatural experiences and faith. Do you think that your mind is so exceptional that it is incapable of delusion? Silly! You have an animal brain just like the rest of us. It is highly susceptible to any form of psychosis. If you were REALLY a skeptic, you would have questioned it tirelessly, maybe even seeking professional help until you had found the truth behind your gloriously spiritual euphoria.

I am not calling you a liar, but I am suggesting that you may not have ever been what you thought you were.

If you are not already familar with it, there is something called no true Scotsman fallacy. You cannot automatically assume that because this poster was once considered themselves a "sceptical agnostic", they would do automatically x, in the event they experienced y.

I will admit I am very sceptical sometimes when I hear some Christian say they were once an atheist. However I am also aware if I were to assume that about that particular Christian, I would be committing the no true scotsman fallacy.
