Ever since I officially was deconverted, or as I would say, I deconverted myself, I constantly find remorse in how absolutely, well, ignorant I was as a Christian. I mean, I was way younger (I'm 15.) It's still just, so embarrassing to even think that:
1. I was baptized, barely even knowing why, just thinking "Well if my parents say it's real, I should believe it, blah blah blah."
2. I was persistent to only believe what I was taught in the churches I attended.
3. I was rude to anybody who had different beliefs than me, and tried to explain to me that I was being brainwashed in the most respectful way possible.
(I give those people SO much respect, by the way. If some snotty 8-9 year old rolled their eyes at me when I tried something like this, I might be locked away.)
It's absolutely embarrassing, but I guess slightly humorous. Am I the only one who sort of looks back on the religious version of themselves with disgust?
