Hey, I'm 21 and in my second year of university studying engineering.
A month ago I would have told you I was a hardcore Christian doing the will of God on Earth as it is in Heaven. Well, after being in the forum that I was previously in all that changed. Sadly, the community there was split 50/50 as to whether my de-conversion was real.
Last night I was banned for supposedly being a theist troll. It annoys me that they have no clue what I'm going through. De-conversion isn't something that happens overnight in your sleep. What's worse is that 80% of my friends are born again Christians so I haven't actually talked to anyone that I know in real life about my de-conversion. That other forum was all I had to escape the insanity that has become my life. So after having my faith shattered and then getting kicked out I felt alone for the first time in my life.
This is why I've come here, where I'm hoping I'll be accepted and be trusted when I say I am now a free-thinker and not a theist anymore. I hope I can stay here for good =)
EDIT: if you're wondering about my name, I used to be called ReasonToFollow in my former forum. RTF to FTR is symbolic of how my world was flipped upside down forever.
