Coming Out as a Christian in a Atheist Community

Post by Atheist-Lite » Tue Dec 14, 2010 5:11 pm

I'd like to know how you'd deal with the revelation that a major atheist icon was actually a convert to Christianity? Would you join the metaphoric lynch mob? or take the Bible from the shelf? or not give a damn? :dp:

I'd certainly wonder why!

It doesn't matter what people say, it means nothing to me.

I'd wonder why for a minute, but then I'd shrug and carry on. I hear a lot more about former Christians becoming atheists than vice versa. :biggrin:

I've yet to see something like that happen so I'd be quite curious but it certainly wouldn't influence me in any way. As a former devout Christian myself I have already wrestled with every possible scenario and am quite happy/sane where I landed so it's really hard for me to understand how someone could go the other way round, but of course it's possible. I'd probably figure they had a brain tumor :shifty:

I might be curious as to why. No, maybe not.
