Religions …. I pause whenever I hear the word now, because the early images I had of this subject — stained glass windows and Latin hymns - are long gone and replaced with awkward moments, forced beliefs and a whole lot of commandments — way beyond the original 10.
I’m glad you worked your way out from under. Freedom of mind is all we end up having that’s of any value. Even if we believe in a principle or two, it’s what we make of it and how we apply it in our lives that matters.
Good luck moving forward.
