Do you ever look back over your old answers and notice a change? What kind of change? For the better or worse?
(I hope this is rephrased in such a way that the "off-topic" trolls won't have it deleted.)

I finally realized that I'm an Atheist by coming on here. lol If you knew me.....this is hilarious. When I was a fundie, Atheist was the ugliest word in the universe. lmao Now, it is one of the most beautiful. To me it means I'm free.

Not really. I am more convinced than ever that Christianity is true - especially given the weak, outdated, repetitive objections routinely raised by atheists around here. It's like - if that's the best they got, Christianity is looking more logical than ever.
Occasionally, an atheist or adherent to another religion will raise a good question that actually makes me think - Meat Bot is one (though he has not personally responded to me), and I have recently had the privilege of talking privately with several atheists, a monist, a Muslim, and a Wiccan. I feel their objections in my emotions, but my reason tells me the objections are unsound, and I am delighted to share the truth with them. What they do with it is not up to me: I am just blessed to be able to tell them.

Very much I feel as though my eyes have been opened. I was so narrow in my way of viewing atheist and born againers I also have become interested in Buddhist they seem to tranquil..
Now I realize that atheist have some solid reasons for thinking the way they do and (most) borners are not devout or even passionate they are narrow minded & mean.
But my real growth has been in my own Catholic Church I''ve been turned on to sites that have given me so much information and I have renewed my devotion to it.

My positions have not changed. I think I used to be a bit more harsh in my answers. Not so much any more. I'd rather just "speak the truth in love".
1 St. Peter 3:15 “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have, But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience...”
