It's usually due to some personal investment and/or disillusionment. Not saying this is the case here. When I left Christianity I spent some time trolling Christians with talk of aliens among other things, like quoting from the book, "Holy Blood Holy Grail". I also knew more about their religion than most of them which made it easy. Not something I am particularly proud of now but at the time I was angry about most of my experiences with Christians and the church. I finally let it go when I found a mentor, of sorts, that taught me that my beliefs were serving a purpose for me just as their beliefs were serving a purpose for them. He also told me that I thought that I was superior to them, just as I had thought I was superior when I was one of them. Letting that go was like a ton of weight off me. I still do it though when someone is too serious but now I am no longer serious about it and I try to have more respect for their beliefs. Until they annoy me past a certain point.![]()
