This is what I don't get. I tell them I was a Christian and they throw out this undeserved and imbecilic No True Scotsman bollocks.
Here's the definition of a Christian:
There's nothing in Christianity that stipulates one cannot stop believing in Jesus/god. The Bible acknowledges them as those who have "fallen away" or the devil snatched the message away from them.
But the idiots contradict their own scriptures because it worries them that Christians and former-Christians can be condemned in Hell. No doubt I'll have that G-C guy demand me for fucking Bible quotes any minute now because he doesn't bother to study his own holey book. They deny us as being once believers in Christ because it bothers them - they want a guarantee they and their "brothers and sisters in faith/spirit/Jesus/whatever" will get into magic man's dwelling place, fuck the human race, just as long as their slice-of-the-pie cult is safe that's all that matters.
It upsets them if they don't dismiss us because empathy coupled with cognitive dissonance arises and they question why couldn't their god simply strike us down or ended our existence before we fell away, and then lost our way along the straight and narrow.
They can deny reality all they want. Fact is: I'm not a Christian, but I was once a Christian.
But then again, some of them can't fathom that the universe is older than 6,000-10,000 years old, do you really expect they'll comprehend past, present and future tense either?
