You can't make this stuff up, folks. At least his former colleagues were gracious about it.
"We wish Seth all the best in his new found relationship with Jesus Christ,” said AIK founder and president Harrison Mumia in an accompanying press release. “We thank him for having served the society with dedication over the last one and a half years.”
The press release also advertises the resulting vacancy in the organization, inviting prospective candidates to apply for the job.
Good for him. Lots and lots of people have gone the other way and turned their backs on religion. Many prominent religious leaders. What people do is their personal business. We don't need to make this political.

Atheists generally aren't as fanatical as evangelicals.
My personal experience does not match yours. Atheists have a belief system, you will find some who are deeply invested in it and are more than willing to espouse this belief. Evangelicals fall roughly along the same lines. Either way, it's humans who have a particular belief system, beyond that the curves WRT "fanatics" vs strong believers vs weak believers are imho roughly the same because in the end it's human nature, not the specific belief system.
Nice! I am also a former atheist. I was an atheist for 14 years. I was quite militant about it at times, especially as a young teenager. I've been a Christian now for over 2 years.
Did you see my post in the other thread? There is a lot of evidence for the faith, and for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In fact, the evidence is quite overwhelming. "Blind faith" is actually what you have to have to believe the universe exploded into existence from nothing and life came from nonliving chemicals.
That's the thing. Whether Seth is an atheist or a Christian or anything else it doesn't really matter from an atheist point of view. We all end up maggot meat in the end. So while you are alive you might as well believe what you are comfortable with while you are alive.

I don't accept this at all. Being happy believing a lie is not good. There's no such thing as, "what's true for me." It's either true or it's a lie. Truth is not relative; it's absolute. I can even appreciate the positions of militant atheists like Richard Dawkins, who would also argue this way, though he is deceived. Me, I'm forever in the loving arms of my Savior and Master, the Lord Jesus. I say this not just because it makes me feel good, but because it's true. If it were not true, it does me no good to believe it. I believe it because it's true. I have no interest in fairytales. I defend my religion because it is absolutely, objectively true. Everyone else believes a lie.
