I rejected the christ story around age 8. I told my mother that it seemed like a fairy tale. She got pretty upset.
I’m a history nerd, so maybe this won’t apply to you. But learning about the early stages of christianity has been a lot of fun for nearly two years. Who’d have thought, right?
If you enjoy reading and learning and you dislike the hold that religion has on society, you might enjoy learning about the earliest stages of the church. There’s so much material. The starter that I’ll recommend is The Passover Plot. I’ve become way more radical after this, but I think this might be a good bridge for readers who are beginning their exploration. Hope you enjoy!
I knew one lady who was having a psychotic break who looked at me and was like “Can I use this {pointing at the desk phone} The voices in my head say I’m having a panic attack.”
So, like. THOSE voices are okay. (she was having some sorta something and needed help, so it’s like “uh. sure. This is our address and, uh, let them know a security guard will guide them in.” (I was said security guard.)
She got her help. Hope she’s okay.
