  Not even trying to be mean but probably themself or someone they know personally got hurt.

    Not necessarily. In my case, psychedelics played a huge role in finally making everything click.

      Oh, hey. That whole mind expanding thing really isn’t a joke. I look back, sometimes, on who I used to be.

    This is very common, but was not the reason for my worldview change.

    Yep. That crowd never changes until they are directly impacted somehow.

      You do see that quite a bit in “ex” subreddits. Personal experience can shake anyone’s views, not just “that crowd.” Spiritual abuse played a role in pushing me away from religious fundamentalism, but there were other factors that laid the groundwork. The process took years and key elements involved a mind-expanding book, two compassionate friends, a podcast, and a local news story that showed me God was quite a bit different than I thought he was. I’ll write the book about it under another comment.

  I wrote a novel in reply to HarkMahlberg above.
