Surviving Christianity Throughout my life I
have watched young talented people giving full
expression to their respective gifts as they
looked to the future and what promise it may
hold. Thinking back on them
puts a smile on my face and causes me to reflect
on what growing up was like for me. Perhaps
you can relate. I
spent my entire life inhibited, afraid,
self-conscious, guilt-ridden, and ashamed. I
fully believed in Christianity and fully
suffered the cost and loss for doing so. If
you were raised in church and were not concerned
about sin in your life every moment, if you
were not convinced all unbelievers were going to
burn in hell forever, if you sat in -church but
never totally accepted that the world was coming
to an end and the judgment of God was soon to be
poured out, if you actually thought you would
grow to be an adult or that your children would
become adults -- you are fortunate beyond words. If
you, too, believed all the lies of Christianity
and now know the Truth of the Gospel, you
undoubtedly treasure the Gospel as much as I do. The
Gospel, the power of God if you will, had much
repair to do for many of us long before it could
begin to stabilize our hearts. Damage
this deep, perpetrated by a religion of sin and
death, is so unexplainable and unfathomable to
those who didn't go through it. Yet still, it
is only something wise enough and powerful
enough to understand the damage that could ever
hope to touch it and begin to help those so
dramatically affected. Love, Michael
