My husband admitted that he denounced Catholicism and Christianity! I've been slowly pushing him to this for years. Just asking him logical questions and being civil but pointing out contradictions. This is an exciting day.
Love the story and happy for you and your husband, but nobody "converts" or "deconverts", we simply change our position.
Just like a light switch can only go from off to on, or on to off, but does not convert pr deconvert to a toaster or or chainsaw, it is still a light switch.
I look at all religions and god claims like a restaurant you eat at. You are not the building itself, it is just a place you frequent and are capable of leaving.
I left my position, but I was never the position itself, it was merely a position I held. Just like cloths. You can wear cloths, and change them, but your body itself isn't the clothing.
Call it pedantic on my part. I am really happy for both of you though.
It's pedantic on your part. What is your problem with the word 'convert'?
