I Lost My Religion…
FAITH IS A PERSONAL JOURNEY
If you’ve been reading my posts lately, you’ll probably know that I recently made the decision to leave my church.
It’s something that makes me sad, and I know that there will be times when I wonder if I’ve made the right decision, but I know that I have, and that I could never go back.
TIME TO RE-EVALUATE
The thing is, making the decision to leave church has made me re-assess and re-evaluate my entire faith and belief set.
I was forced to come to the decision that organised religion is not for me- not really. I don’t fit in, in church circles, and I probably never will.
I’m not saying that I’ve lost my faith in God, or in Jesus… just that, I don’t honestly see myself ever being in a place where I would feel comfortable going back to a church.
ECLECTIC
I have always had quite an eclectic belief set, and the thing that I’ve realised, is that that hasn’t changed. When I was attending the church, I found myself dulling certain parts of myself, and suppressing parts of me, just in order to fit in (which is something that never happened anyway!).
