My #glowup I was raised #Pentecostal & eventually #Mennonite. #fundamentalism ruled my life with an iron fist - until a series of calamities broke through my #cognitivedissonance. Eventually I divorced religion & set myself free. Now I’m a professional counsellor devoted to helping others on their journey from sacred to secular life. I founded CORT (the conference on religious trauma) & host the Divorcing Religion Podcast.

#purpose #meaning #exchristian RECOVERING FROM LOSS OF (RELIGIOUS) PURPOSE

1. Swap judgment for curiosity.
2. Give yourself permission to explore likes & dislikes.
3. Move from being a meaning-seeker to a meaning-maker.
4. Recognize & mourn losses related to losing religion.
5. Take your time & have fun.

What total BS. In no way are Christians persecuted in the USA. They’ve just been primed (by the Bible) to expect it, so they see it everywhere. They must not be allowed greater rights or protections than nonbelievers. #AbortSCOTUS #magicalthinking #corruption #ChristianNationalism https://www.salon.com/2024/02/23/alitos-cries-of-religious-persecution-are-a-chilling-preview-of-in-another-term/

Paedophilia is rampant within the priesthood, destroying thousands of lives - but the prosecution the Vatican is interested in is over finances. The Vatican should be razed to the ground & the RC Church forced to pay every victim abused by priests & nuns. #romancatholic #catholic #predator #catholicpriest #vatican #corruption #abuse https://www.cbsnews.com/news/first-cardinal-prosecuted-in-vaticans-criminal-court-convicted-of-embezzlement/?ftag=CNM-00-10aag9b

JaniceSelbie, 7 months ago to Toronto

In the late 80s, my now-retired #ornithologist husband spent time bird-watching with #margaretatwood (whom he called Peggy) and her husband, Graeme. Occasionally, he even stayed with them in their #toronto home. Fast forward to today: I am mailing a hand-written note to this literary giant, thanking her for speaking out against the #fundamentalism that defined my first 40 years - and asking her to be a guest on my Divorcing Religion #podcast . Wish me luck!
