One of the saddest realizations for me to finnally come to was that I needed to give up on organized religion to be able to keep my peace. I pray that others can have more success then I had but I know that I gave it my very best for over 35 years. Jason, You are always welcome to vent here as much as you want.

I'm really enjoying reading each installment. My heart aches to share this freedom with my loved ones and co-workers, but it just seems that most of the folks that I know well enough to have a conversation with, would rather stay in performance based Christianity than to experience any sense of true freedom in Christ. To each his own, I suppose. Just today, we had a company wide luncheon. Several guys in line right behind me were talking about how many people they've had to join their church(es), come forward, get saved, profess Christ.....you know the drill. Their conversation moved on to talk about how they don't like to see the little kids making public professions, because they doubt their sincerity, they don't think they will stay "committed to Christ", etc., but that they felt that they "had to" let the little ones come forward and profess Christ anyway.....blah, blah, blah. The whole thing just made me sad. I wanted to just blurt out so many things about how Christ accomplished everything the church has been trying to do for thousands of years, and on and on......BUT, I knew it would be cutting my own throat in the process. So, I saved my breath. Not really making any point here, just venting a little. Thanks again for posting your notes. Please keep it up. Jason Cliff,
