Sean still hasn’t cheated on me, and we haven’t been struck by lightning. So far so good, lol.
The one thing that has benefited me most from choosing to live without religion, is the freedom to choose. In religion we are taught that we have free agency, but I never felt like I did.
Basically the only choice I felt I had was, heaven or hell and of course I would choose heaven. That meant I had to follow all the “rules” even if they didn’t feel right to me.
I no longer have to make choices out of fearing God and his wrath. I see God as loving and allowing. We have this life to live and learn through experience.

I have followed you for a long time and am in awe at your beauty and love for others. Though I’m sad that you have left the church I know god lives and loves each one of us. He doesn’t ever want us to feel fearful he just wants what’s best for us and for us to be happy. I hope you find happiness in this life and never let what others say make you feel any less of a women and what god has intended for you in this life!
