Yikes. There is quite a pattern developing in the religious right, in the US at least. We are turning back the clock folks.

    it’s going to need to move itself to prove it.

    If you were raised Christian, you should know how much God loves human faith. He would never do anything to deprive us of the challenge of faith, because He knows how healthy it is for us to live on faith. Everything He directs us to do is for our own good. Revealing himself would deny us that opportunity.

    Let it go and leave us alone.

    You know where to find us when you’re ready. Wishing you all the best.

      The reason I’m no longer a Christian is because I committed the unforgivable sin: I put these claims to the test. There was no answer. No fire from on high to consume the altar. No dove descending from the heavens. No whisper on the wind. Just confirmation bias.

      Try to survive on faith and you’ll starve quickly. Trying to convince me that your beliefs are true is just going to annoy us both. Mission accomplished.

      You know where to find us when you’re ready. Wishing you all the best.

      Trust me, I do know where to find you. Until I go looking for you, leave us alone.

        As someone who was raised in a Calvinistic Baptist sect I second this in the strongest possible terms. If satan himself turned up at my old church the faithful would fall down and worship at his feet because they couldn’t tell the difference between him and their god.
