@dillyd Mine was a slow burn. A long build up of questions dismissed with only responses of 'just have faith'. One they didn't like me asking was why the letters of Paul were in included in the Bible when they didn't follow the supposed strict criteria for acceptance into it. Lots of lies, vindictiveness, etc. Complete dismissal and disapproval of anyone with a disability of any kind.
I ended up going overseas as a missionary and what that did for me was to make me see that their are loads of different ways people 'be Christian' with many directly contradicting each other. Also that the things reported as evidence of being in the right 'vision from god', 'being shown signs' etc, literally happen in every religion.
Then there's all the truly awful and horrific things in the world that you would think a benevolent god would help out with if they gave a shit. But instead those who have good, comfortable lives through luck consider themselves blessed, further demonstrating that they consider those not in their circumstances as not blessed.
My personal moment of breaking came when my little sister asked me 'what do you want to do?' As in with my life and career, etc. I had literally never been asked that before. Religious and family trauma had led me to believe I was not allowed to do anything that I wanted to do. That I didn't have the right to direct my own life. So that was my 'fuck this shit' moment. 1/2 #religion #church
