When I hear stories of people who abandoned their 'atheism' for religion, I am always suspicious about what their 'atheism' really was. They are always called ex atheists, never ex agnostics, I've noticed. Calling oneself ex- atheist is cool and provocative, but ex-agnostic become religious, not so much. I take little notice of such 'conversions', especially when adorned with blurb about how happy and peaceful they now are. These are people on a trip, and people tripping out have never impressed me.

Trading freedom for spiritual “security”? Her choice I guess.

And you believe this load of crap?

It seems obvious to me that this woman had never been a Christian before. Thinking that they were "meddlers" is likely why she called herself atheist. She did not believe in love or even in herself. Now she has decided she has some false "faith" that might make her cry and believe in her Jebus. This is really just a typical conversion story. It has nothing to do with being atheist.

Xstians drop out of their church so they can be openly 'bad' and then they get saved again which makes for a bit of celebrity in their church group when they return to the fold. JW's now have something called being 'inactive' which just means that they can do all the things that would normally get them disfellowshipped but since they are 'inactive' they remain on the roster as JW's. One way to get your numbers up I guess, like other Xstians who only go to church at Xmas and Easter.

Maybe she got tired of thinking for herself and took the easy way out.

Each one has their own motives. Not for us to judge, in my opinion.

It is one's choice questionable as it is.

She wasn't an atheist. She was just a Christian who couldn't understand how her loving god could be so cruel.

I wish I had a nickel for every liar the Christians trot out as supposedly having been atheists. I'll bet the number of Christians who'd be willing to claim they were once atheists is in double digits. Lying is what they do; that and hectoring each other to hate (liberals, non-whites, gays, scientists, women and especially Jews).

This is probably very rare.
