I do like that, much I don't know.....yet.....

Deconversion isn't about walking away from a cult. After leaving twi, people began analyzing what they were taught and deciding which doctrines to discard and which to keep all the while retaining their Christian beliefs. That is called deconstructing. Deconversion is walking away from that belief along with believing in the entire book it is based on. Regarding your "dog in the manger" idiom and connecting it with egotistical viewpoints you say have been shown on this thread, I don't think that is an accurate statement. I have disagreed with your position on scripture and your explanations of some verses, but I don't think I have criticized you personally for sharing them. If I have, I apologize. But simply having disagreements doesn't mean someone is being egotistical or disrespectful. Oldskool, by the way, was not referring to comments made on the "Atheism, nontheism, skepticism: Questioning Faith" forum.

It seems that others have asked the same question.
