Wow.....this is so cool how you can look back on this! I tried not to cringe but I did haha. How did you get out after being so indoctrinated?

Comment by Cara Coleen on October 23, 2009 at 7:01pm

It is pretty crazy that I did get out, right? It was a series of events though and, obviously, I was pretty skeptical for a Christian... despite my alleged unshakable faith. Even though I thought nothing would shake my faith, it was that attitude that landed me here. I was willing to put my faith to the test, believing it would come out on top. I did have faith... I think more than they did... and I was also willing to be wrong, even if I thought I wouldn't be. It worked out!

Maybe there's hope after all! :)

I was one of them; the ones we, here at T|A,

I define "US" and "Them" as those who know how to make the vertical line between the "T" and the "A" and those of us that have no clue how. I'm in the latter camp and I promise to wage war against you evil bastards until the end of time....or someone tells me how to do it.

BTW way, Cara, thank you for sharing these. It makes for very compelling reading material.

I'd also like to point out that your critiques of the novel and the movie were pretty much right on, so at least you had that right! ;)

This is really awesome. It shows you had a brain even when you were religious. I could link this article to every single one of my friends, and they would all agree. The atheists would laugh, and the Christians would nod along, saying "amen" to your assertions that true faith cannot be shaken. All of this is true.
I almost want to say it's too bad you didn't stay religious: you would have added to the number of sane ones. But then again, you're never really completely sane if you believe in sky fairies.

Comment by Cara Coleen on October 27, 2009 at 11:15pm

Haha... yeah, my days were numbered as a Christian, Steff. A person can't stay religious long when they have such liberal views for a conservative. And, I hadn't noticed it before, but this quote is my fav (and I can have a fav quote of my own b/c I was a different person then! lol):

Be reasonable. Have some faith!

Oh the irony! Oh what a contradiction! lol @myself
