And I get it, this is the Christian Anime Alliance, not the Atheist Anime Alliance, or the Multi-Religious Anime Alliance, so really why should I be welcome here? I don't much care for anime in general, I only watch a handful of series, and now I don't adhere to Christianity, so there isn't anything here for me nor a reason for anyone here to want my opinion on any of these subjects. As Goldenspines pointed out, I can't give people advice on any faith related issues because I have no faith; I guess that invalidates the 14 years I spent as a Christian and I'll keep that in mind going forward, so the next time I'm involved in a conversation with someone having a crisis I'll keep silent.
A number of people over the last day have told me that they're my friend on here, and that's nice, but none of these people really know me aside from reading my posts on here. So while I appreciate the gesture, I'll have to say that no, we aren't friends; it takes a great deal to be my friend, and if the attitudes that I've seen exhibited by a number of users of this site, over a long period time, long before I made the decision to deconvert, were not hostile to non-believers or believers in other faiths then maybe I'd stick around to see if we could foster friendships, because a number of you who have never said anything bad or slighted me in any way whatsoever do seem like great young people…but this isn't the place for me anymore.
You may see me logged in occasionally from time to time lurking, but I will not be posting any longer.
So with that said, I wish you all well.
