Man's morality

[Godlesspanther]

There is no doubt that there are people who were atheists (did not believe in any sort of gods) and had a religious conversion and are now believers. People can and do have profound changes in their thinking. I do, however, think that ex-atheists are rare. Usually I suspect that this declaration is a lie. Here are the reasons:

1. Most (but not all) of the "ex-atheists" can't provide a description of their lack of faith that seems sincere and is consistent with descriptions from current atheists.

2. The numbers don't work. Atheists are a growing population in most countries. If all these "former atheists" were genuine, we would see the opposite trend.

3. Religion follows fads. I remember back in the 70s-90s there were all these "ex-satanists" -- after the satanic panic bullshit ran its course and the new atheist movement took hold all these "ex-satanists" vanished and "ex-atheists." started appearing.

4. It's a cheap ploy "I used to be an atheist just like you so i understand where you are coming from." Bullshit.

I did not say that there are no ex-atheists. But that they are extremely rare.

Ex-christians, however, are becoming more and more common as the days go by thanks to people like Drich who make xtianity so repulsive that normal people will have nothing to do with that shit.
