If you care to elaborate, I'm interested. And don't worry, de-conversion is not on my agenda. I prefer that people choose their own mindset. I'm just nosey to understand the details.
I don't subscribe to the typical Christian "fire and brimstone" doctrine whatsoever. There is a difference between following the teachings of Jesus and following church doctrine. They are completely exclusive.
The main reason I chose number two is because it more reflects that truth of the Jesus situation, in my opinion.
