I was baptized, raised, confirmed Lutheran. I believed the Bible was the true Word of God, I believed I had to have the Holy Spirit in my heart and believe that Jesus died for our sins, in order to go to heaven. I felt constant guilt, depression and suicidal thoughts plagued me. I never felt good enough. I prayed and cried over and over for strength and stronger faith. Finally, a few years ago, I opened my heart and mind to the truth, I read the Bible with an open mind and open eyes. What I read sickened me. The slavery, killing, injustices, intolerance, all that was against what is natural and good. I felt ill. I felt angry. And then finally, I felt free. I let go of it all. I told the Christian God what I really thought of him. I realized that the Bible was evil and that the Christian God was really the devil, deceiving millions. And that Lucifer or Satan, was actually the true god, the God of enlightenment, truth and nature. The one that encouraged people to have intelligence, think for themselves and not be led by others. I could go on all day, but this about sums it up. Thank you for letting me share my story. I hope this reaches many people and that they realize they aren't alone, that there are many of us out there who will help them and support them through the difficult time of leaving Christianity.
I have a support group on yahoogroups called Ex-ChristianSupport. Anyone is welcome who needs the support and friendship of other ex-Christians. If you're interested, please feel free to email me at cathysmama@aol.com or ICQ me at 36502509
