because its not a vote its to gather some information for a quick sciforums test. you cant chose a single option in a poll, so i had to choose 2.

peace.

There was also yes or no.

M*W: Using the word "turned" atheist is like saying milk "turned" sour. We don't "turn." "Became atheist" or "embraced atheism" would be better word usage.

LOL, atheists.

You are more worried about how the poll looks than answering the question. And then you have to start hair-splitting the question's wording. We aren't idiots, we know what the question means.

I was raised Baptist in a Berean Fundamental church. I don't even remember when I became am atheist. It seems like I always doubted.
Kinda like I don't remember when I became hetero, I just always was.

but why is using the word turned not correct wording? the definition of "turned" fits the bill. if not why not?

peace.

I had to have been. I prayed, I accepted Jesus as my savior, I went o church 3 times a week, and I went to Bible Camp. But I remember in 2nd grade my Mom was pulled into the Pastor's office for a talking to about me. I asked too many questions. My Mom said he was an ass and just ignore him, but that kind of behavior got my doubts rolling.

and quit peacing me!!!!!

No, why would I be?? None of the theists I know ever did anything out of meanness. They believe in hell and eternal damnation. They truly cared about me. And a few theists don't speak/act for them all. I don't want them judging what I believe so where would I get off judging their beliefs? My Mom raised me better.

I'm not a religious bigot.

**Gondolin** · 07-10-07, 07:22 PM

Yes, I am an atheist that used to be a theist.

**~~GhostofMaxwell.~~** · 07-10-07, 07:23 PM

Mines just a protest vote BTW I've never been a kneeler pleaser.
