Like is that NOT a take back? I'm just saying that's a take back. I'm saying that's a whole returned to store with receipt in hand deal. That's a refund to the original method of payment. JC returned our sins back to Walmart and walked out of there swaggy in his sandals and no one noticed.

Moses and Jesus are hanging out together on the beach. Moses gets up, stretches out his arms, and says "I wonder if I can still do this?" Lo and behold, the water parts!

"Nice!" says Jesus. "Now let me see if I can still do my thing!" But when he tries to walk on the water, he sinks to his knees.

"That's weird," he says. "I wonder why I can't do it anymore?"

This work is about the joy and freedom that come with deconverting from an oppressive religion. I hope you enjoy!

No heavenly body watching your every move, no begging for forgiveness over loving the wrong person, no crushing weight on your shoulders for not being and looking perfect at every turn.

A quiet life of loving whoever you want, not worrying about whatever shame a random man decides you need, the bad things that happen are just bad things and not punishment for the things that happened to you as a child. spending time in nature knowing you get to dissolve into the dirt one day and not be terrified of what comes next.
