I felt they were making fun of, if anything, "wannabe white boys" you know? ,

No. Messianic prophecies didn’t play a role in my de-conversion. As a believer I accepted them. Since de-converting I’ve looked at them with an unclouded eye and been able to see them for what they are; cherry picked, post-hoc-ergo-propter-hoc silliness.

I can see how an honest look at them could be an issue for someone as part of their own de-conversion process. They simply weren’t in my personal case.

Hi LeoPardus,
Did the problem of the messianic prophecies play a role in your deconversion? The apologists love to use the prophecies as a proof, but honest investigation shows otherwise.

That was me, btw, cheering for the Gadot mention.

Hey, its ok, Charon, a honest misunderstanding. We all have plenty of them, don’t we??

Did you happen to see the movie? It’s pretty inspiring.

Your girlfriend would probably enjoy it. Newton, the former slave-trader, after his conversion became an Anglican priest.

“Where’s Goddo?”

Goddo sounds just how one would pronounce Godot with an American accent… waiting for Goddo? Waiting for Godot…

Okay, I think that’s funny, but then I’m the kind of person who’s made Beckett jokes before.
