The reason I left theism is because there was no rational reason for me to believe in God, therefore I did not feel compelled to do so. Everything before that was purely emotional and wishful thinking for the most part. I don't make that an argument for anyone else on the basis that it was my personal experience, and I honestly don't give a crap if you don't think I was being a real Christian.
I'm saying that this isn't the first thread in which TruthWorthy expressed that he had doubts in faith and saw arguments from a theistic standpoint.
Remember this?

I'm not doing the "No True Scotsman" fallacy, I'm just making an observation based on his individual threads and posts. There are no rites of passage to becoming an atheist, it's only the lack of belief in God. If you don't believe, then guess what you are? I'm thinking TruthWorthy had a lapse in faith and explored other options before coming to his current conclusion. I wish him the best, but I don't think it should be a "goodbye" thread just because his ideology has changed. If anything, this should spark some good debate on many topics.
Good luck, dude. I hope you're happy.
