[QUOTE="onemoreokie, post: 2790481, member: 3479"] Well put! Given my family situation it would have been much easier to have kept on pretending to believe. My mom would have even preferred that for family solidarity. I now know plenty of people who go to church and keep their doubt quiet just to keep the peace at home. Part of me can't blame them. For me, I was just tired of being intellectually dishonest with myself and my loved ones. I was very fortunate to have a spouse who showed nothing but love and compassion through my deconversion. When you take that leap and your out of the tribe the world can seem like a scary place at first. Life is really much easier when your part of the majority. Being a non-believer in the bible belt gives you an entirely new perspective. [/QUOTE]
