You clearly believed in God at one point (as you said you were a Christian for decades) so you found His existence to be credible.
What caused what you previously found to be credible to no longer be credible?
Originally posted by @romans1009You have said that Ghost of a Duke is lying about having a theology degree. If you think I am lying about being a former Christian, you are mistaken.
I think your claim of being a former Christian is about as true as Ghost’s claim of having a theology degree. No wonder you don’t want to talk about it.
Originally posted by @romans1009My claim to have been a Christian in the past is not false.
Your claim of being a former Christian, imo, is as false as Ghost’s claim of having a degree in theology.

I don’t think [FMF] was ever a Christian nor do I think he thinks that.
Originally posted by @romans1009 to dj2beckerI was a Christian. I am not being deceptive.
If that’s the case, then I’d say [FMF] wasn’t a Christian and it’s deceptive on his part to say he was,
FMF: Yes, it's obvious that I am not interested in discussing something as personal as my loss of faith with you - a person who posts like an obnoxious child day in day out - and who has repeatedly called me a liar for claiming that I used to have that faith.Yes, you have.

I have never “repeatedly called (you) a liar.” That is a lie..

Were you born a Christian or was there a specific time in your life where you were convinced Christianity is the truth and you decided to follow the teachings of Christ?
Originally posted by @fmfThis post is why I don’t think you were a Christian. I wasn’t trolling you when I said it.
Once I realized I no longer believed the claims that Christians make about themselves and about the meaning of Jesus' life, I stopped self-identifying as a Christian and have self-identified as a non-Christian ever since.
You apparently became an atheist because you “no longer believed the claims that Christians make about themselves and about the meaning of Jesus’ life.”
So, presumably, you became a Christian based on believing the claims that Christians make about themselves and about the meaning of Jesus’ life.
Nothing about believing in God and then not believing in God. Nothing about believing in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and then not believing it. Nothing about believing Jesus was God in the flesh and then not believing that.
You simply no longer believed claims Christians make about themselves and about the meaning of Jesus’ life.
Did you ever accept Christ into your heart and believe God raised Him from the dead? Did you ever think you satisfied John 3:16 and Romans 10:9? If your answer to those questions is “No,” then I honestly don’t think you were ever a Christian. I’m not trolling you; I’m just giving you my opinion.
And you don’t have to answer those questions publicly and I’m not asking you to. I’m just asking you to privately consider them.

This post is why I don’t think you were a Christian.
Originally posted by @romans1009I realized I no longer subscribed to the claims that Christians make about being "saved" by Jesus and the claims about the divinity of Jesus and the significance of his death, so I realized I was no longer a Christian. I am not lying about it as you have repeatedly suggested.
