| <<prev | the day I became a born again un-believer | next>> |
I tried church after church, denomination after denomination, I was a really sucky christian, I could never get it right. I even got divorced (twice) which put me into the basically unredeemable category, although repentance and permanent celibacy might have sufficed.
One day, after thinking and thinking and being rejected by friends and family, I said "this is all bullshit, if David could help himself to women, murder their husband, and still be a choosen man of god, it was a stupid system and I wanted no part of it anymore.
Upon letting go, I discovered that I could read whatever I wanted without guilt or fear and I realized that I knew way way more than I thought, I realized that the problem of understanding and logic did not lay with me but rather with a ridiculous ideology. I was free, free I tell you, I was born again really, a totally new life.
Now I read what I want, think what I want, don't think what I don't want. cool cool cool!
