The fallacy of correctness by conversion

I was an atheist, but now I've seen the light or
I was a Christian, but now I'm an atheist or
I was a Christian, but now I'm a Muslim or
I was Hindu, but now I am a buddhist, etc, etc, and so on

Converting from one thing to another gives you a different perspective and helps you empathize with a certain group of people, but it does not give you authority or truth. Everyone has converted from X to Y and Y to X given that X and Y are both belief systems held by a major group of people on this planet. The number of people converting from X to Y or Y to X also doesn't make it more or less valid. Christ said, "Enter through the narrow gate." The majority of WW2 Germany didn't think Nazism, imperialism and national socialism were bad things during the war, not until after.

I know I'm going to post this as a reply to something, I see this all the time, so I figured I would go ahead and make it.

I LOVE THE MESSAGE.. Hate the satanic music but then if it is later posted to an atheist they might like it. I LOVE THE PICTURE....Wow scary scary. Baried up to the neck at the shore line and here comes the hugest wave ever. A picture of the backslider and the godless.....their lives in great danger

the music is actually using Christian lyrics, one of them crazy bands that are reaching out to a certain subculture, head bangers that got saved and they minister to other head bangers. All earthly music falls short of glorious heavenly pure music, even many of our old classic hymns used music that was sung in bars and pubs with other words. I don't spend much time listening to it myself, maybe if I need to wake up physically or work out.

I don't know if it is satanic or not, but if it is, then so are many of the songs in the hymn book.

Great argument (harumph).

Against a point no one has made.

Congratulations.

You've killed a scarecrow (strawman).

eh... I've seen it several times, you probably have to. Most of the times I see it on youtube, its an atheist or a muslim saying they were A christian for X number of years, when those number of years include when they were a child, it doesn't add up. I'm not in a hurry to post it as a reply, just putting it here for when I do.

Why not include childhood for the "saved" years. Churches always say that's the most important time to grab the kids. Fine, even without my "childhood" I was a fullbore, Bible-believing Christian for 18.5 years.

I agree as well it's all good but the music, couldn't handle it, had to mute it.

I totally agree, but had to mute the music :)
