@Mister Agenda That is quite the journey. Definitely winding as you say. I agree with your assessment though. I too likely would have never started thinking skeptically if I had kept my faith. The concept of an all-powerful God obscures and takes over everything.
There was something Jimmy Snow stated in one of his videos regarding his own faith discoveries and it really popped everything into place for me as I was processing things. He said that he tried to think of how the world might be/what it would look like if the church wasn't true....and it looked exactly as it does now. That thought experiment never would have made sense to me or even occurred to me before I started losing my faith.
