When I was willing to begin questioning whether the church was not just false, but totally made up, I noticed that, like many people, my entire foundation disappeared. I was lost for about a year and a half, just trying to figure out who I even was anymore. However, though it takes time to recover, I have come to a point where I am more comfortable with me, and not only not committed in any way to the church, but like many of you on this site, actively devoted to its demise.
The picture is clear now. There is no question that TSCC is COMPLETELY false. Yet people continue to ask me to respect their beliefs. I won't. If a kid kicked me in the shin, then told me it was because Santa told him to, I would never be expected to respect that belief. How is this any different?
My main interest in posting, however, is to try to know what you've all felt when the clarity of consciousness began. How can I describe that to people? It seems almost unanimous that most of us have have a similarly radical wake-up call, and yet people discount the validity of such claims.
