I Hate the Church

I don't hate the church, probably because I never got far enough into it to invest myself in the doctrine and culture. I was about 16 when I said fuck this, and about 10 when I thought, this is bullshit. But I understand, and you're not alone by a long shot. Rant away, friend.

I think my hate lands more on what it did to me and my relationships. How permanently harmed I am in so many ways because of the church.

How it has caused me to feel guilty for perfectly normal things. To feel like a monster for liking women, which in turn seems to hurt my relationships because of my guilt and insecurity. How it has made my family relationships so painful and confusing.

The church can exist and be wrong. Fine. Whatever.

Do your thing, Mormons.

But what I can excuse is the damage it does.
