> There is so much goodness when you leave, of course. That makes it all worth it. I have found that the integrity of embracing reality is much better than even the most comforting lie. But often, freedom feels a lot like loneliness. A lot like being on an island.
> You mourn what was thought to be true but never was and never will be. This grief is normal and healthy, if you befriend it. It's the evidence of how true you were then and how true you are now. A god may not have shown up, but your grief is proof that you were always fully there.

Sometime back, maybe 5 years ago, I came across the phrase #exvangelical . It resonated with me as I was exploring #orthodoxy and some of my deeply held convictions were fraying at the edges. Just a few days ago, on seeing the term in someone's bio, i realize I have fully walked that path now. I am thankful for my time in #protestant land as an #evangelical but I am glad to have joined the ancient church.

Do you remember the book & Windows CD-ROM "The Bible Code" came out or was your family not as wildly evangelical pentecostal as mine?
:blobcatthink: 😅https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_Code_(book)
BTW, it was published by Simon & fucking Schuster. Not some niche Christian press.

@theogrin It has been my lived experience over decades.
I wish it was common knowledge, but I'm not sure of much of anything these days.
"The guilty dog barks the loudest" comes to mind, though.

Umm...I actually read the red words.
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."
Matthew 6:5 NIV -
You Can't Solve ANYTHING Without Critiquing Religion
From the way we vote to the way we view labor, commodities, and each other — our society is built on #religious ideology, whether we realize it or not. Yet, so many leftist and #socialjustice movements avoid critiquing religion directly.

The #Violent #Hypocrisy of #American #Christianity
#KayseMelone
#exchristian #exvangelical #christiannationalismChristianity has long been framed as the ultimate path to #morality, #familyvalues, and #goodliving. But #history tells a much darker story. From #missionaries who dismantled indigenous cultures to the role of Christianity in #colonization, #conquest, and modern Christian nationalism, the truth is clear:
-
The "#ShinyHappyPeople" #sequel highlights the #Christian boot camp that traumatized a generation
The three episodes focus on #TeenMania, a Christian #ministry founded by #RonLuce, with a goal of getting children to turn to #Jesus and reject temptations like #sex, #drugs, and #alcohol.
But the #darkside of the ministry destroyed so many lives.

#Antitheism, #atheism, and the REAL harm of #organizedreligion
