It is indeed liberating to finally engage your own “brain”, without religious filters!!! It is entitely possible to be a quality human being without guidance from the churh. It’s also possible to have awesome and inspiring days without praying for them. If there exists a divine intelligence or higher power, I’m cool with that. Even if I were to observe more Christain people behaving like Jesus, I might have stuck around, but I mostly observe the exact opposite. Applauding family seperation at our southern border and calling it bibical? That’s not even the tip of the iceberg!!!!!! Ugh. Thank you for contributing this article. ✌
