“Former Christian Apologizes For Being Such A Huge Shit Head All Those Years” sounds like an Onion article, but it isn’t. What’s impressive is not only the fact that she wrote up this apology publicly, but that she seems to have done it within a few weeks of becoming an atheist after a lifetime of Christianity, and in front of an audience that has since sent her so much hate mail she’s stopped reading anything in her inbox that’s not clearly marked as being on another topic.
It isn’t that impressive to me. As far as I can see, what it shows is that she has been torturing herself for a long time, probably many years, over her issues with Christianity. She’s just expressing her anger with the suffering it caused her.

This woman is a model unto the entire human species.

Thank you for posting that. It’s an inspiration.
I wish it were possible to mail her and tell her she doesn’t have to apologise!
