And a lot of folks ignore those warnings, or aren’t experienced enough to perceive them in the first place. Here were some of the main red flags I missed in relationships and religion alike when I was Christian.
A while ago, I wrote about why I deconverted. I’ve also written about some of the reasons I believed in Christianity. Or at least, these were the reasons I thought I believed.
