Then the internet shone its beautiful lights on me and BAM I was free to explore the world beyond church.
I began to watch debates and video's on youtube. I questioned why a religion claiming to be so loving does not accept same sex love.
Then became a Wiccan, broke off from that too. I kept on questioning my beliefs until the belief seemed absurd.
So here I am. Ta da.
The internet played a big factor in my deconversion too. Before then, I had my doubts but didn't really have anyone to talk to or any sources outside my bubble. This is the kind of thing people really fear when they want you to stay away from information that conflicts with the bible. It just opens the floodgates, and there's no turning back for most people.
The internet is wonderful. I've learnt more valuable things from what I've read online than from anyone else in reality.
