I have to be able to look myself in the mirror and be honest about the person I'm looking at. I have to be able to sleep with myself at night.

To go back to church now and "rest in god's forgiveness" would be like tasting the red pill and trying to go back to the blue pill. Like tasting reality and trying to go back to the illusion.

Hold onto your illusion if that's what you need to do, but I'm unwilling to go through the effort it would take to psyche myself out that way.

You can't sin because you were born saved. Hence you needn't be born again. Big Grin
