Keep your tracts, please

It's my own fault really. I keep doing things at Hubby's church, and sooner or later someone was bound to want to save me.

Here's the story in a nutshell:
I refuse to be one of the those people who counts on volunteers to run programs that my kids are in and not do any of the volunteering myself. Because of this, I make costumes for the annual play put on by our church's children's choirs, and I teach Sunday School a couple of times a month. In addition, I now teach nursery shool (a paying job) at the church. Because of all this involvement, a few people decided that I would be perfect on the newly formed committee overseeing Christian Educaion. After a bit of thought, I told the organizer that I was willing to be on the committee, but I doubted that I was eligible. Why not? I'm not an actual member of the church, nor will I ever be, because I am an atheist.

His response was to say that he'd look into my potential eligibility and to ask:
How long have you been an atheist? I went through a few years while in college where I had doubts. It was actually a college philosophy class where we were reading and discussing works by St. Thomas Aquinas that sort of pulled me back to believing in the existence of a God, etc..

( Skip reading the rest if you are religious and likely to be offended that I am not. )
