Coragyps did explain, but careful reading should have caught that the first post explains the thread, but for others who may have missed it, the very first thing is says is:
quote:
[Admins note: what follows is user/moderator/all around decent human being christ-on-a-stick's story of her path into atheism, as originally begun in the thread "At thescholar's Request: A Salvation Story".
The first couple dozen posts were copied from that thread, which has become bogged down in chatter, while the remaining installments of COAS's story were posted here directly.
COMMENTS CANNOT BE POSTED TO THIS THREAD, AS IT IS LOCKED. If you would like to discuss COAS's story or join in the discussions surrounding it, please use this link to the original thread and post there. --W@L]

So the admin split part of the posts from one thread into another so that the story would be separate from the discussion taking place in the other thread. Then having changed their forum software it was edited to fix problems with the punctuation.
Then you go on to trot out the standard fundamentalist rant to try to discredit her, i.e. not a ”real Christian’ and in doing so you prove her point. So it becomes fair to conclude that without a reliable external way to test for ”real Christian’, and with being a ”real Christian a possible self-delusion (both your claim and hers) then we can’t be sure that any ”real Christians’ have ever existed.
