    While I never believed in YE creationism… i did a become a better person when I turned apostate.

    A substantially better person, if I’m being honest.

      Which is funny, since the idea that you’ll go off the deep end and become a cruelly nihilistic hedonist if you ever leave is such a constant drumbeat in that culture.

        Yup. I was going to be a pastor until, at college for it… some LGBTQ protests came to campus (late 2k’s) and saw people being down right hateful. And everyone else being okay with that.

        Made me realize…. I was an asshole. I didn’t want to be an asshole.
