I really like Feser's blog. Though I am often infuriated by his sarcastic jabs at New Atheists, his rabid social conservatism, and the way he takes the truth of Aristotelic-Thomist philosophy for granted in so many of his posts, he is undoubtedly one of the smartest theists out there.

His post on how he gradually stopped being an atheist is fascinating, as a counterpoint to the deconversion stories we are more familiar with, and in that he makes it seem like a purely rational process (no mystical experiences, etc).

Interesting post, thanks. I am unfortunately not very surprised he ended up back with Catholicism, though.
