I starting blogging a couple of months ago and I find it quite addicting. Not sure how long it will last but so far I writing, reading, or commenting nearly every day. De-conversion was one of the first sites I found as well and is one of my favorites. Paul's sites are very good as well. <i>It seems to me that there are more “flavours” of Christians than Ben & Jerry’s has icecream, with often one faction claiming they are the only true Christians</i> I always found this fascinating about Christian religions. Unlike Buddhism or muslims, there are dozens if not hundreds of flavors. Hi and welcome to the party! I starting blogging a couple of months ago and I find it quite addicting.
