Technically I am one....deep inside I don't know...
I know that the religion does'nt cut it for me anymore I've seen too much and read too much that supports this. Plus when I took a good long look around me when I was at the end of my "rope" when it came to believing the dogma all I saw were sheep. Sheep with bored looks, glazed looks in their eyes. The contradictions, the prejudiced teachings when dealing with people that are different when it came to religious veiwpoints. Really got me wondering...
Was it this god wanted? Was it THIS Jesus wanted?
I personally feel that I'm not an apologist, but in their eyes I'm considered a fence sitter.
If only they knew I'd be more than happy to D.A myself. But to me that woud be empowering them, and I'm done giving them power since that organization had that power over me since I was born. Plus I have family that are deeply rooted in this dogma. They think that I'm depressed over what happended to me in my life.
What can I say...I have a sick, overdeveloped sense of honor when it comes to saving the face of my family. But I know that I have to live my life for me. And I know that time will come when I will be able to escape that nut religion. But It would take longer to give myself a cerebral enima to flush the gunk that's so deeply embedded in my mind.
So I guess for now I'm an "X" for unknown in my spiritual destination. It's like I know where I want to go, it's just when? I don't know.
