When I'm not being particularly crazy, I can think of at least three members here who share "my logic", and 2 with fr0d0. Me and fr0d0 may or may not have overlapping logic at times... Sleepy

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

What caused you to come to the dark side of rational thought?

The cause of my deconversion was christianity itself. When you know too much, it falls in on itself leaving you there standing amongst broken glass (stained glass of course). At the end, you realize that everything you attributed to god would have happened with or without prayer/intercession. So then you think, "what the fuck is the point of having a god?" Every "miracle" that you ascribe to the handy work of god then becomes seen as just another event in nature.

All in all, I realized that there is no point to god. If there is no point, there is no reason to believe. So here I am.
