I actually didn't know what to expect. It's situations like these where character, good or bad, comes out. I was afraid to say anything about my apostasy for quite some time but after a while you kind of need to do something.

As for the comment "protests outside your front door" though I know that this is an exaggeration, for some it feel like its not so far from the truth. Apostasy can be really upsetting for some people. They feel betrayed. Not just because you have gone over to the enemy side but because you have willingly left the group. I have a few friends of mine who are going through a very rough bit. It's what happens when most of your friends and family are fundies of the insane kind.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
