It is up to us to view the world within a realistic framework. While Mormon, my faith directly contributed to a greatly lessening of my quality of life from when I was a child up until I left the church at 25. Those who say Mormonism or any other fringe religion is not harmful are full of s***.


It may have harmed you or more specifically people within it harmed you. That does not make it universal.


That rationalization keeps the scars Mormonism has inflicted upon you hidden. Once you step out of Mormonism one sees these scars. Even as I was emerging out of it, I thought I had escaped unscathed but looking back several seasons later it was the conditioning and blinders I later shed that kept me from seeing these scars.

Assuming of course that the scars did not come from leaving

What an ignorant and uninformed comment.

I'd equate it to your comment that I have scars that I can't see....and no one else can either. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't change their clothes with the light on.
