Truly though provoking journey to apostasy
OP - December 10, 2014, 02:42 PM

I stumbled across this blog and it's the best post regarding apostasy i've ever read. It is really long, but well worth it if you have a spare half hour or so. It's the journey of a Christian man (I think, it doesn't specify the gender) who examined the world religions and converted to Buddhism for 6 years. After some disillusionment and a family member converting to Islam, the strict monotheism intrigued him. After some study, he converted and dived into all thing Islam. After much time studying and practising the religion, he discovered many philosophical (among other) issues in Islamic theology. This inevitably led him to become an atheist. He gives an extremely intelligent, thoughtful and eloquent insight into his journey and where he is at now. I really enjoyed so thought I would share. I think it is old so hopefully it isn't a repost!

I enjoy the fact that the author seriously considered the claims of other religions. These stories tend to implicitly represent false dichotomies between their former religious beliefs and atheism
