Although I understand your sentiment, there’s no need to be sad. My life makes far more sense without a deity in it than it did with. I think, if you read the rest of my writings here, that you’ll see I still hold the Judeo-Christian ethic to be of immense value to society at large, and that I in no way harbor any ill-will toward those who continue to believe. I only ask that anyone who would question my beliefs submit theirs to the same scrutiny. Not surprisingly (knowing the people who have commented), the news of my “apostasy” has been taken well.

I have to say, I’m also mentally debating the potential irony of this post being the one you responded in…
