As it turns out,a goodly number of members here are former theists.
I was brought up devout Catholic,reading the the Bible at 12, Aquinas at 16 and Mulla Sadra at 38. I left the Church at 20. It took me another 20 years to become an atheist. During that 20 years I asked questions yet received no answers which made sense. I searched for proof ,of gods,the soul, the supernatural,the paranormal,and found none.
My search included a decade at University studying other cultures and beliefs.(probably why I'm so dismissive of the widespread anti Muslim hysteria,not uncommon ever here)
My atheism is the result of a painful journey to an inescapable conclusion, it is not a choice. I will sometimes discuss things with a rational theist ,such as Tacky,but he's an exception. The rest come across as close minded ignoramuses (ignorami?) who lack even a sound knowledge base of their own faith,having apparently tried to learn by osmosis and failed.
