My journey back from the left was incremental, and agnosticism was about the last thing I gave up. First it was the easy things--the welfare state, the evils of socialism and communism--then gradually the difficult things--divorce, abortion, contraception, erotic displays of female nudity--and only finally, kicking and screaming, did I finally become unable to persist in my hard-headed denials of God.

I remember one "aha" moment. I realized that in on-line discussions, there were good people and...well, not good people. I was in disagreement with the "not good people" on practically everything: homosexuality, drugs, prostitution and other sexual immorality, abortion...only on one issue did I find myself aligned with them and against the good people: the existence of God.

I had to ask myself, "What's wrong with this picture?"

To which particular God were you denying? Thousands have been proposed throughout human history, so it's hard to tell which is being referenced during any conversation.
