As someone who grew up in the bible belt, who had too many questions for the Lutheran church and was asked to leave.

I could not reconcile the Church's desire to HARM people that weren't a part of it. Jesus was a love all hippy from THEIR scriptures.

Supply Side Jesus is anathema to actual christian practice.

Hence, I parted from the church, and found my own way. It took more effort than listening to a pontificating asshole to achieve, but I'm comfortable with my beliefs. The struggle, the pain, the blood, the tears. All worth it.

For reference, I am a Hecatean witch because Trivia visited me on three occasions. More than Jebus has done.
