[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t like the snark here and I think OPs description was cruel and nasty (a vegetable? really?).

However, as to the general concept: I am an atheist who was raised in a very religious household, who became a secret atheist as a very young child. My family was and is very close and affectionate, and my parents remain devout. I believe it is highly likely that when I am dying, I will revert to my childhood religion. I doubt I will exactly believe in a god — I remember being skeptical very early though had no frame of reference to even explain that — but I am sure that the rituals and structure will be something familiar and probably comforting. My parents will be long gone, and I suspect that engaging with my childhood religion will be a way to feel close to them at a time when I am feeling scared and vulnerable.

[b]That’s probably too earnest for this thread[/b] , though, and will probably make both the religious and atheist trolls who live in this forum now angry.[/quote]

Don't get your hopes up and please consider that your response may seem snarky to both believers and atheists.

In religious terms, your response seems holier than thou.[/quote]
