Go to the Dance!
At least this kid is learning at a young age how to step outside the dogma that is part of the Conservative Christian Church. This scene reminds me of a situation I went through in college. I was told by my Christian leaders that I could not, under any circumstane leave the Bible Study I was leading, which also meant I was to stay in the dorm that I was trying to leave. I was stupid enough to comply against my beter judgement.
I look back on that moment as one of the milestones in my deconversion. I remember thinking long and hard about why I allowed people to dictate what I could and couldn’t do. I had already started questioning a lot. This episode was the icing on the cake, and now, over 15 years later, I look back and wish I had done what this kid did. Exactly what HE wanted to do despite what others were telling him to do.
