Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted August 21, 2014 Author Super Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2014 Happy De-conversion day! Here's a song to help you celebrate: Born again, again by the talented Keri Noble. Enjoy! That was a very nice song. Thanks Lucynia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted August 21, 2014 Author Super Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2014 To buffetphan and Marty, I celebrate this day because the final epiphany occurred on it. Like both of you, though, there was a long and slow process involved. Remember at the age of four years old I ripped up my Sunday-go-to-meeting shirt; because even then, I thought something was just not right about religion. I'm glad I have a particular date that I can connect with each year; and I would encourage everyone to set aside a particular day to celebrate their deconversion, even if you have to pick a day at random. Congrats, Prof! It's great that you have a specific date to commemorate the conclusion of your process. Like some of the others here, my deconversion lasted for several years. I can probably identify some general timeframes, such as a year and a season, when this or that phase occurred. I know the date of the last time I attended a worship service and heard a sermon, because it was on my birthday. There was a time when I posted to my facebook friends that I no longer viewed Jesus in the religious sense but instead in a totally humanistic sense. Maybe I can recall that date and use it as a marker. Otherwise, I'll continue using my birthday as the anniversary date. Thanks for posting your anniversary announcement. It's got me to thinking of my own. I hope you had a great time celebrating with your loved ones! Peace, Human I had a wonderful time yesterday reflecting back over the past 11 years and remembering all the good times and even the bad times. I'm glad you've also got a date you can use.

Leo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Redneck Professor / Dave: I congratulate you and also want to say, as a recently out deconverted, your posts are very helpful, often witty, sometimes bring out the lighter side of this whole deconversion business, and leave me a lot to chew on afterwards. Yours were some really good ones which I read during the phase I lurked on this site as a guest. So, congratulations and thank you sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Leo, knowing that my words have helped another through the process is really the best deconversion day gift a guy could be given. Thank you kindly, good sir.

Googledotman Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Happy Apostasy Day, Professor! I hope I get to see 11 years as an ex-Christian. Hell, I'm only 24, I cant wait until the day that I will have spent more of my life as a non believer than I did as a believer. I hope you get to that point and many more. May the force be with you.
