Could you elaborate? I certainly didn't mean to imply I'm any better than someone in the position I described. I'm as much guilty of sin as anyone else.
I don't think it's pretentious either to say that all have sinned in some way or another. As Solzhenitsyn writes, the line between good and evil runs right through every human heart -- all are capable of great good and great evil.

- TimTheTinker 5y agoAh, understood. I didn't mean characterize atheists or conversions to atheism. It's just that from my own frame of reference, that's the most attractive aspect of atheism.
