Over at MD&D, old-school poster and former chatroom socialite of our previous board, cksalmon has announced his departure from historical Christianity to join the teeming mass of atheists.

Farewell, you say?
Yes, I think so. I mean, I haven't posted in many, many moons. And since that time, I've left my faith-based worldview behind. I no longer consider myself a Christian in any sense of that word (or even a theist, for that matter), so there's really just no reason for me to "correct" or convert you fine Mormon folks and/or stand up against Mormon attacks on my cherished theological beliefs with the most righteous indignation allowable by law.
I think that's a win-win scenario for all concerned.
You know what's interesting, though? When I now consider Mormonism vs EV Christianity vs RCC, etc., purely in terms of manmade mythologies, I actually think Mormonism is the better story (in general, that is; there are parts I don't like at all, too). It very nearly pained me to write that given the emotional muscle memory associated with this discussion board. Ha.
AMA if there's any interest. Otherwise, to my Internet friends here (if any are still hanging about), happy trails!
