No Such Thing as an Ex-Christian

Certainly the scariest image I've seen all day.

That's all. I've got nothing to add on topic that hasn't been already said. Other then I also feel like an uneducated jerk compared to some members here, which isn't important.

There cant be a ex-christian because there is no real christain there was only one of them and he died at the cross.

You're right, they want to say that they were atheists and how christ changed their lives but they shield themselves from the same argument by saying that there's no such thing as ex-chrisitians.


To be fair, the mechanism they claim this immunity can't be applied to atheists( and I'm glad). They claim that to be a "True Christian" you have to have the "Holy Spirit" in you( a bunch of bunk, but what else is new...), and that once the "Holy Spirit" enters, it can't leave ("I am rubber you are glue. . .", it's basically at the same logical level). If you go from being a Christian to something else, the "Holy Spirit" wasn't in you. As atheists, we don't believe in a "Rational Spirit" which enters you and doesn't leave, so we can't claim the same because we're not bat-shit insane.

I know it can't be applied to atheists and I'm also glad but the thing is that they want the advantage in that situation by discrediting people who leave the faith saying they never were true christians.
