The unique thing about you is that you seem to be the only ex-Christian on this site. (who can't seem to remember why exactly he lost his faith, or doesn't want to talk about it)
1) No longer believing what Christians say about themselves and Jesus.
2) The book of Revelation (too strange and incomprehensible.)

Originally posted by @dj2beckerI’ve only been here 3 and-a-half months, but it’d be interesting to know how his behavior/actions were different when he was a Christian compared to when he became an atheist. The most obvious difference would be if he led someone to Christ when he was a Christian. He obviously wouldn’t do that as an atheist. “Good works” were probably part of his life as both a Christian and atheist though the quantity may differ. Obviously he no longer follows the greatest commandment as stated by Jesus - to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength - though he likely still follows the second - to love your neighbor as yourself.
That is exactly why I think he doesn't want to discuss it.

Replying in threads these days is like going to my email account and circumnavigating all the junk mail surrounding genuine messages.
In reply to your OP, 'my collective memories' make me unique.

So it's on-topic on at least two levels. 😏
