They seem to attach the "former Christian" label on themselves as though it somehow confers upon them a level of respectability they would otherwise lack. But all they do is show just how ignorant they are and why they are the unbelievers they are. If you don't understand the faith you supposedly hold, then how are you going to live by it?

My view is that they are fooling themselves (at best) or are simply deceitful (at worse). <br /><br />I have noted that in the last few years (I don't recollect it ever being used in the more distant past) a propensity to equate the sacrifice of the Lord with human sacrifice as practiced by various religions historically. It is indisputably a total and complete non sequitur - a totally silly, bogus argument. I'd like to say more but we are suddenly in a terrible lightening storm and I'm afraid what I've written thus far is about to be lost if the power goes out!
