Atheists who become Christians

[abaris]

I could have easily used faith as a crutch - and perhaps for a while, I did - but mostly I dealt with my trauma in ways that were damaging to myself, and were no less irrational.

When sitting at my father's deathbed some 11 years ago, this was such a moment. There was this nagging thought of never seeing him again. Turning to faith would have been the easy way back then, but it would also have been the dishonest thing to do. I simply couldn't believe, even at that moment.
