Can a valid, supportable reason be offered for deconversion

DB - I, too, will cite "thinking about Christian teachings in an adult fashion and finding them to have no basis in reality" as a good reason to deconvert. "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things," is how your book puts it.And where are you, by the way? I'd like your take on some of these many answers you have here.Edited by Coragyps, : fix quote

Untrue. Scholars who have actually studied these things can determine with very high certainty that, say, the books of the Torah were not written by some cat named Moses that left Egypt about 3200 years ago, but rather by some anonymous priestly lads 800 years later. No gods need be involved one way or the other.

How does it do that, DB? Are Romans really Assyrians? Does the New Testament talk about "seven shepherds,
even eight leaders of men?"Or are "Assyrians" modern-day Iranians, and you are citing as "fulfilled prophecy" some Armageddon bullshit that hasn't happened?

Oh, thanks! That sure does clear that all up! Or should I say, "that may clear something up, but it beats the hell out of me what?"
