My first day on Facebook and I thought I recognized the name and then I found this. While the drama is unfortunate, I don’t think your attitude would be different without it. I applaud your honesty, your willingness to be a part of “The Case for Christ” (which personally, I thought was a cool book), and your articulate story. While I am a Christian, I don’t feel the need to save you, I don’t think you need saving. In fact, I have found more atheists I aspire to be like than Christians. Really, I just have the easiest route since I don’t disagree with your right to choose your belief and yet I get the comfort of something more when we are done here. What I’m really waiting for is the big joke being played on us when we find out we get reincarnated and have to go through it all again – now that would be hell.

I find this much more to my taste than the “traditional biblical” version.

I just wanted to say that you “didn’t turn your back on God.” Being agnostic is nothing of the sort, and neither is Atheisim. If you are agnostic, you believe in something, but you don’t carve it out in a neat little regligion. If you are Athiest, there’s nothing to turn your back on.
