It's been 10 years since I effectively ceased to be religious (I checked Atlas on this one, it's basically a diary at this point!) At that stage I had already abandoned trinitarianism which was fundamentally weak and, to me (and I respect that people think differently) a clear construct. Adoptionism squares that circle at least in part and it was clear to me that was the intent of early Christianity. But by that point I had sort of accepted there wasn't a god at all, or anything remotely godlike humming along in the background. Since then I've spoken with apologists for Islam, or to be more personal, friends (mostly queer) who are Muslim and it going to the point where I effectively agreed with them on the nature of god, but not acceptance (rather than active belief) of god. If I ever changed my position on that, then I would more than likely take time to consider Islam.
This is interesting. It makes me think about my sister. She has a Muslim boyfriend and they debate about religion fairly often. If I have understood correctly, when they first met she was re-approaching Christianity but did not clearly believe in trinitarianism, and discussing with him has (paradoxically?) contributed to her embracing trinitarianism fully.
I should note that my sister is very young, younger than me. When you joined the forum she literally was in my mother's womb.
