From devout Protestant Christian, to devoutly protesting Christianity.

[Creed of Heresy]

People tend to turn to god in times of crisis not out of strength, as they will always claim, but out of weakness and cowardice. I've known a few people who were atheists and then someone close to them died and they insta-converted to being a Christian, which leads me to believe that they didn't do it out of faith but fear. They suddenly realized someone they loved is gone forever and they can't tolerate the idea that they're gone in every sense of the word so they choose to lie to themselves, tell themselves that they're somewhere beyond death. Which is truly, truly saddening.
