@kellyjay saidHow does a person “fall away” without denying god?
I'm taking him at his word; if he said he fell away without denying God, that would
be a different conversation.
Who are you to declare what is and what isn’t “falling away”?
Your bitterness and judgment toward FMF is something you should be ashamed of.
@divegeester saidYou really should study the whole Bible.

@divegeester saidNow you may not grasp that you don't have to be disagreeable to disagree with

someone every time someone doesn't affirm your beliefs. There is nothing personal
about this with him from me. Disagreements with you seem to have many names-
callings involved with almost all you talk to; I'm simply staying on point, nothing
more.
@kellyjay saidPlaying the victim card is not an answer to the question.

@fmf saidYes, psychology speaking, you knew a god, and later you now deny that it was real
But I am not claiming I was something I was not. Haven't you been reading my posts?
because you no longer believe in that god. So for you, it was like the Easter bunny
or Santa Claus, but in reality, not so much. Do you disagree with me?

No, He was not. Speak for yourself, KellyJay.
@kellyjay saidYou are claiming that I was never a Christian, that my faith was never real to me, you are claiming that it was just me "going through the motions", that it was "merely a set of rules", that it was only a "fuzzy feeling", that it was only about "sitting on a pew in church", that God was like an "Easter bunny" to me, that my faith did not impact my life, and lest we forget, it's only a few weeks ago that you were accusing me of lying about my Christian past, etc, etc.
Do you disagree with me?
And you have studiously ~ and disingenuously ~ ignored or pretended not to have read anything I have said in my efforts to describe how profound my faith was.
You have used every little dishonest strawman you can think of.
Of course, I disagree with you.
You are being very strange, KellyJay. Do you perceive my loss of faith as some kind of threat to you?
