You're just some random dumbass on the internet. I'd think it more likely that you're talking about things in which you don't really believe than someone who is openly investing a lot in their beliefs.
You just can't seem to accept the fact that people can have faith and lose it.
That being said, when I took my faith seriously, I did feel some measure of peace in the beginning. That lasted only as long as I could fool myself into thinking there had to be a good reason why the God I kept trying to talk to refused to answer. Then, it started having quite the opposite effect.
Ex-Christians are a very real threat to believers. They are living proof that anyone can lose his/her faith. That includes people like Drich
A mind is a terrible thing to waste -- don't pollute it with bullshit.
