I think you are the only atheist who actually read the article and attempted to understand it. The others merely saw an ideological opportunity, skimmed, misrepresented, flouted, and called it a day. Like I said.I’m not sure why you call the atheist posters here trolls. I see counter arguments to the premise of the article But nothing trollish.
My guess is that there are a few here who have commented who are quite familar not just with the article but with the woman herself. What she has written and what has been written about her. She was almost considered an honorary member of the Four Horsemen.I think you are the only atheist who actually read the article and attempted to understand it.
I'm afraid only she can explain that...I hope I'm not sending this thread sideways by asking this question, that's not my intent. As we read the article, she mentions "woke theology" as one of the threats to "western civilization" which she says is "eating into the moral fibre of the next generation". If you can explain what she is meaning here, it would be helpful to me.
When you reject Islam and are no longer a Muslim, that leaves the question, well, what are you now? Initially, she left Islam for Western secularism, but appears to have concluded that worldview doesn't work either. So where to from here? Since she now credits (rightly in my view) to Christianity the characteristics of Western Civilization that she values, it opens another question: might Christianity actually be true?The author has a need that she believes can only be fulfilled by embracing a religious belief. Islam did not work for her in the end so she is giving Christianity a try.
None of that supports that Christianity is true. I may work for her, and other people, but that doesn't make a bulk of Christian claims true.When you reject Islam and are no longer a Muslim, that leaves the question, well, what are you now?

In her spiritual journey she may have found that Christianity works for her. In what form is unclear. The thing is, each of us has our own walk and what works for her may not work for others.Since she now credits (rightly in my view) to Christianity the characteristics of Western Civilization that she values, it opens another question: might Christianity actually be true?
