Reminder folks that we're still in the introduction section. No one's violated any rules yet that I can see, I just don't want to see anyone reported for crossing the line.

What a load of fucking shite.
Sounds exactly like cherry picking with a bunch of fancy intellectual words thrown in. :-)

Are you suggesting this:

I think a lot of people change their beliefs as a reaction to family issues, emotional changes, or other non-academic reasons. So just as someone might become Christian due to tragedy, without thinking clearly about it, another person might become an atheist as a way to individuate himself from his background. Once the emotional motivation is there, one might rummage around for more rational-sounding reasons.

Could be simply expressed by saying:

People can change their minds.

Specifically, which statements on this thread so far do you want to respond to in a way that doesn't "play nice"?

I have two easy questions, Why did you pick a false religion, and are you willing to reject your false god and embrace FSM today?

"For the only way to eternal glory is a life lived in service of our Lord, FSM; Verily it is FSM who is the perfect being the name higher than all names, king of all kings and will bestow upon us all, one day, The great reclaiming"  -The Prophet Boiardi-
