I am also a former apologist (aspiring, anyways—teenage girls aren’t taken very seriously by theologians). I clung to my faith so hard. It’s amazing how much the evidence there is against the classical notion of the supernatural. It’s a snowball effect. Every piece stripped away another aspect of my fundamentalism, until I was a socially-liberal Christian. Then, an agnostic theist. Then, an agnostic atheist.
I’m also looking forward to getting involved with the community. The high standards for conversation here are intimidating, but it’s exciting, too.
