Excellent story!
I will say, however, the 9/11 comment strikes a huge chord with me. As a "free-thinker" I cannot accept the official story we have been led to believe...

I'm sorry, I really don't mean to jack your thread. Honestly, I didn't...
There is a lot of evidence out there regarding the truth behind 9/11. I feel the towers could not fall as fast as they did being hit by planes near the top of the building. The towers fell from standing to dust at 11 and 12 seconds. That's the speed of gravity. So, a baseball dropped off of tower 2's roof would of hit the ground at the same time tower2 crumbled within itself.
WTC 7...it also fell at the speed of gravity on 9/11...it was never hit by a plane.

Thanks for the nice read, periwinklefish. I'm glad that your husband agrees with you about atheism. 
Quote from: "periwinklefish"This is super interesting to me, BTW... How can we get the wall down??!?!I don't think it's something that can be done from the outside. You broke down your own wall, and that's the usual way that it happens. Open dialog is good, and can bring a person to look into things themselves.

A really great story and it shows a deconversion process that many can relate to. But you were lucky and not unlike me. I was raised Presbyterian for 17 years. Always in the back of my head, I thought it was all too good to be true. I never believed. It's in that way that you and I were lucky. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for some that truly believed with all their heart until that seed was planted in them that made them question their religious beliefs.
Another way you're lucky like me is that you have a spouse that's not devout.
