| <<prev | After the Christian dis-illusionment I found what I was looking for. | next>> |
My story started long before I built my website. As a youngster I was expected to go to church with my parents and knew of nothing else except Christianity for my up to adult life. I ended up attending a church that slowly crept into something of a small cult before I left.
I couldn't understand that some preacher should be telling me how I should make decisions that affected my life and rebelled against it after allowing myself to wed someone I didn't love because she was claiming she was pregnant. I got out and was quite a long while out, rejecting just about everything about it. But then there is the rest of my story.
