Growing up to puberty, some questions started dropping in my mind and I needed answers to this questions. My parents saw this questions as "sin" and that's how everyone in the religious space saw these questions. Nobody was going to answer me but I actually needed answers.
I started searching on my own and found my own answers. My answers seems much more truthful and logical. It was different from what I was being taught in "Sunday School". There was this joy of discovering the truth and I wanted more. I didn't want to tamper with my new found truthful knowledge and I had to leave the church.
I kept on studying on my own and the only time I went to church was when I wanted to see my friends or there's a special program I felt I could learn from.
Do I regret leaving the church? No, I don't. I enjoy that I was able to break free from every religious bondages.
Do I regret leaving the way that I did? Yes, I do because in the quest of searching for truth, I was to extreme to get some lies with me which sort of affected my spiritual lifestyle. These are still things that I battle with.
