Dear Friends,
I am awed [not to be confused with odd] by all these well-thought-out comments regarding your personal journeys. Your loose but credible enumeration of the basic steps [more at specifics: see TD's list] is a huge help. Similarities but differences, to be sure, from one individual to another. I never could have imagined discussing this subject one year ago.
By their fruits you will know them.
I see the application of this verse in a way never intended. I know no cookie-swiping, meanie atheists.Thank you very much,
CoCo

cookie-swiping
Depends on the cookies.

Oh no, never, Never!
Atheists of integrity would never!
One shattered faith per lifetime shall suffice for me, thank you very much ...

Well, Vinny ...
That's the way the cookie crumbles.
At the moment I'm keeping an eye peeled for cereal killers.
Or is it an apple peeled?
Or the apple of my eye?
Sorry ... hijacking my own thread.
Great learning has driven me mad.

10. XJW Agnostic
11. XJW Atheist
See what happens? You slide down that slippery slope, barely maintaining a semblance of balance, and finally when you end up at the edge of the precipice (step 10), then like a lemming you jump off into the bottomless pit of utter disbelief (step 11).

Thanks, TD.
Pretty accurate list.
I did pretty good though.
I went directly from something like 2.5 to 10.
Skipped all the others.
Maybe I did those in my sleep.

A condition which will never afflict nvr.
Ok, ok, I've had enough fun tonight poking fun at Nate...
and I'm expecting a few paybacks.

JWism to apostasism to atheism.
Throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
