Now it's personal

I like that you identified yourself as a Christian theist, tells us roughly what kind of theist you are. Like atheism, mere theism isn't a label that tells us much; both Hindus and Muslims are theists; the only thing all theists have in common is that they believe at least one god or God is real.

I hadn't heard 'deconstructing' as a term for losing religious faith before; I have heard it referred to as 'deconverting'.
