I was raised a fundamentalist and attended southern Baptist schools until I graduated high school (including two years homeschooling). Somewhere along the line I turned into an angsty teenager and started questioning everything, including the religon that a: surrounded me with people who never questioned ANYTHING (or stopped eating, for that matter), and b: outlawed both premarital sex and pop radio, both of which I was itching to indulge in.
It is strange to see things from both points of view. I am now agnostic, but not long ago I was one of the pigtailed, plaid-skirted girls who handed out "Jesus Saves" pamphlets at the supermarket. The sight of that makes me almost angry now, and I think that has something to do with my former religion, which was handed to me along with my gender, skin color and, yes, sexual orientation. Luckily, I can actually change my religion.
Has anyone else altered theirs?
