Well, I tend to the opinion that if Firm Believers can say that an 
allegedly loving God is going to torture me in Hell for all eternity 
for not believing (and eternity's a pretty long time, isn't it?), 
then I can say that the sudden switch of a prominent atheist to a 
believer in God may be an early sign of  Alzheimer's disease.

 I don't see anything prejudicial about that. And at least my 
hypothesis is testable.
