I did this entering seminary years ago. What I was seeing and hearing, was not the same as what I was seeking. The weight was too much for me to bare and I shed my Christian faith all together. One can not retain a bit of cancer and not think it will return 10X. I had to rid myself of it all. Otherwise, I knew it would destroy myself from the inside out. The lie I thought I knew was truth was removed. After 38 years, I chose correctly. I wonder to this day, who and what are religious people listening to?
So you're suggesting that I didn't leave my wife because she didn't like Neil Diamond but that maybe she left me because I'm an idiot? Ouch! I think Dostoevsky can help me!
But the truth is you can never lie to yourself We may tell ourselves that we are not what we are. We may show others what we are not. But to ourselves we know what we are.We can never hide from ourselves. Those who do so continuously will go mad.
Self deception is the worst kind of deception
True

The only lie I'm aware of that I tell myself is, "I'm okay." I tell that lie every day. I have to.
It's one lie that makes us keep going!

Isn't everyone going mad in nowadays?
