Can we ask why? Just curious… I have been feeling in need to believe there is a god, but mostly it’s because I can’t solve my own problems and I feel helpless.
I’ll have to figure out the reason before I can write about it. Right now, it is simply something which happened. I don’t know how to explain it. I may never know. If I figure it out, though, I will share it.
I’m interested as well. I guess it’s because I don’t see my own Atheism as a “thing” that I can “lose,” like a belief would be, because Atheism, by definition is simply non-belief in a god or gods.
My prior lack of belief was something (or a lack of something, to be more precise) of which I was aware. Things happened (which I am still trying to process, to the point where I can explain them), and, as a result, this changed. Disbelief itself then became an additional thing to which my skepticism (which remains intact) was automatically applied. As a result, it vanished. An an internal change within my own mind, I noticed that change. At the moment, that is the best I can do.

I am sure of this, though: it involves triangles.

Sounds utterly Pythagorean. I’ll be interested in hearing the tale!

Best wishes, whichever road you take.

You lost your atheism but you still have to figure out why? That’s interesting. How do you then know you lost it?

I’ll keep reading to see what you figure out.
