Maybe I am just a VERY suspicious bitch??
Any way find your feet and relax no one here is going to ban you for anything other than the preaching bit

Oh... and thank you for your introduction.
Apart from being a grumpy suspicious old bitch ...It's one of my biggest pet peeves that (predominately xtians) people launch straight into threads without posting an introduction thread where EVERYONE can read it...it gets a bit tedious.

A month ago I would have told you I was a hardcore Christian doing the will of God on Earth as it is in Heaven. Well, after being in the forum that I was previously in all that changed. Sadly, the community there was split 50/50 as to whether my de-conversion was real.
Last night I was banned for supposedly being a theist troll. It annoys me that they have no clue what I'm going through. De-conversion isn't something that happens overnight in your sleep. What's worse is that 80% of my friends are born again Christians so I haven't actually talked to anyone that I know in real life about my de-conversion. That other forum was all I had to escape the insanity that has become my life. So after having my faith shattered and then getting kicked out I felt alone for the first time in my life.
This is why I've come here, where I'm hoping I'll be accepted and be trusted when I say I am now a free-thinker and not a theist anymore. I hope I can stay here for good =)
EDIT: if you're wondering about my name, I used to be called ReasonToFollow in my former forum. RTF to FTR is symbolic of how my world was flipped upside down forever.
