Thank you all

I'll be honest with you guys, I didn't lile defensive atheists when I was a Christian. In my mind their was nothing wrong with my religion and I thought you guys where just getting mad at air. I knew conservative Christians and chruchs existed but a always thought of them as outliers.​​​ I still think the original idea of Christianity was peace/love and I know there are a lot of Christians who genuinely are good people, but I never realized how toxic our religion and books were.

To say plainly, I didn't think you guys were good people. I had stumbled upon a few of your guy's posts while I was religious and I always thought you guys were needless negative and defensive for no good reason. So even when I was starting to deconstruct, I was afraid you guys wouldn't be welcoming or patent with me.

However, when I finally posted about leaving Christianity, I was overwhelmed with the number of kind and positive strangers that helped me. I realized that despite what I believed, you guys were more kind and made me feel more understood than I ever was in even the most progressive of churches. I had focus so much on your battle tactics against the enemy I hadn't thought to consider the community and support this place.

So to summarize, thank you all, for giving me strength and support to leave Christianity for and reminding me that their is life and beauty beyond religion and mythology, and that I am now free to make my own book of truth.

Wishing nothing but the best to all you kind strangers 💕
