Then stop trying to tell us you believed and show us what you were doing while you were a believer, details please. Many here have claimed to be former believers yet give no evidence to prove their statements, why? Are you afraid to be scrutinized by the very scriptures you once believed.

I'm sorry, but this is such a transparent attempt to dig up personal dirt to No True Scotsman a past believer.
The majority of theists on this board won't reveal any personal details, some won't even tell you what their denomination is, and then you have Cafeteria Christians like GC who identify as a southern baptist, but add on a caveat that they don't believe all of their own doctrine.
If there were any interest in an actual examination of belief, the theist would be open with their experiences, and the history of the belief they were more than likely born and raised into.
Instead, they seem to prefer to hide their actual beliefs so they can post hoc justify any incongruity in their professed doctrine, and maintain self illusion of moral superiority and self righteousness.
And the loudest mouthed theists on this board, the ones screaming from the rooftops that secular morality is a lie, and God is the only source of morality, won't even reveal their own past behavior they lowered their opinion of humanity on the whole.
And yet those same theists are the first ones to jump into a support thread, mine it for ammunition, and use it against people who are open and honest about their personal life, beliefs and experiences.
It's a crock of garbage.
