Jonathon Edwards UK (ex)Athlete
World record holder at Triple Jump, famously refused to compete on Sundays until "god" told him he should do so, and grinning christian poster boy, has lost his faith - four years ago apparently.

I only found out because I was you tubing athletics and ended up reliving watching him break the world record, and noticed a couple of comments about him losing god! Confusedhock:

A quick Google brought all the articles up about him quitting as the presenter of Songs Of Praise on BBC due to a crisis in faith which he then lost (I never watch this so never knew). I can't believe I never knew, this guy was as sugary sweet gurning christian as they come.

Well, most of you probably know this already - but for those of you that didn't know this, or forgot - if Jonathon Edwards can deconvert, anybody can!

Keep the (complete lack of) faith!
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
