Done what I wanted, and not what the christian group leaders wanted me to do. That whole peer pressure thing, and for me fearing what people thought about me, trying to project the right image for others. So doing what was expected of me rather than thinking through what was right. Or doing what I thought was right and feeling guilty about it because it wasn't deemed "spiritual" enough. Sigh. 10.

What a thing to say! Tsk, tsk. LOL. Yeah, me too. Leaving Religion, I like #11 and #13 the most. I'm sick of pastors who pretend to be the most caring thing in the world, when they're exactly the opposite. And prayer was mostly about gossiping and passing on juicy information. Publicly!

Lots of it. You said you would've told a few people off. I wouldn't have. I would've been a hypocrite like they were. I would have disagreed and kept it to myself. I would've lied to them like they lied to me. I would've pretended to be a good Christian like they did and would've misbehaved behind their backs. I would have used them like they used me. I would’ve had pre-marital sex. Lots of it.
