I'm a bit different de-convert. Im sure that God exists, I cannot change that.
The problem for me is that serious "spirituality" in religion consumes almost all happines in life and leaves you with "noble" misery of sacrifice for the "higher goals".
That's interesting. You're certain God exists but how certain are you regarding His nature, purposes and significance in your life? Can you elaborate on what you think God is and wants from you?
Oh, and in what sense are you a different de-convert? Does it have to do with the institution of the church versus what you experience directly?
