It wasn’t as bad as it sounds. 😂 I was somewhere I didn’t belong and I wasn’t willing to pretend. I care too much about being real and freedom. I don’t believe most Mormons believe what they say they believe but they aren’t willing to blow up their comfortable lives. They haven’t realized happiness comes from going within and healing wounds, not projecting and expecting outside sources or things to bring them happiness. Most Mormons are good people. They’ve just been tricked into looking for happiness through religion instead of within, like most religious people. My search for truth led me to where I am now. Humans are meant to evolve.

Jeez, way to just casually say the whole meaning of, like, everything... "Happiness comes from going within and healing wounds, not projecting and expecting..." Yep. By some interpretations, that's what the cross symbolizes, or part of it. Well... Yeah, part.
I think most people are good. Certainly everyone is the hero in their own story. We recognize the bad in others as a mirror of the bad in ourselves, then react more to our own shadow than the other person.
Have you ever thought of returning to Mormonism, just better equipped with all the things you've learned? More in control, or something like that?
