Ayaan Hirsi Ali now claims to be Christian.

[Deesse23]

I skimmed over it a bit. She is an idiot. She reminds us of the fact that atheists arent smarter than theists. One can be an atheist for completely wrong reasons. One can have unreasonable and fallacious reasoning, and be an atheist. The same reasoning can lead someone back to theism. Looks like this is what she has done.
She "chooses to believe" (as if that was really possible) in a christian god, because of...perceived benefits to humanity. Her professed belief has nothing to do with the actual existence of a god and/or her being convinced of this existence.

Based on that, apparently she's just a humanist looking for some extra power and control. Or am I missing something?

Power? Control? Not at all from what i see.

Considering her background (as far as i know about it) she is still confused, still looking for answers, purpose, etc. She isnt looking for whats true but for what (she believes!) makes her life better, and that of others.Truth value of what she is promoting seems to be of absolutely lesser importance to her it seems.
I am really curious when she is confronted with and has to defend the anti-humanist, discriminatory and misogynist part of the christian belief. Ill bet a paycheck she is gonna answer by cafeteria christianism. Probably she also will find herself defending the position that she actually still does not believe a god exits (nothing in her article gave a hint to a newly found god belief!), while promoting the christian religion which is founded on such a god belief. Either way, she will have to bend over backwards.

I get that she is looking for her own and her fellow humans betterment, but doing that by ignoring that truth matters.....thats plain stupid. Sorry, but even an idiot like me knows better.
