Definitely. It's hard not to be upset that I spent the first half of my life in church learning bullshit.

well hey at least you made it out instead of sticking with the crazies for a few more decades

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 13 points 8 months ago

Yeah the wasted youth I spent doing church shit weighs on me.

Me as well. What really bothers me is it was mostly me driving it. My parents are/were god fearing but I was way more than they were.

All this information about the Bible and it does me no good at all.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 7 points 8 months ago

Yeah. Nothing quite dechristianized me quite like committing to reading the Bible.
