I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer.

ReplyDeletePreach it, brother! :D

ReplyDeletesarabhi, I honestly beg your pardon. I refer to our postings down at "red hat". We are very much on the same side and I was never offended by any word you said. We are allies and equals.
ReplyDeleteFollowers of Abrahamic religions believe that they are made in the likeness of god. Now that's arrogance!
