Some of that shit is pretty obvious across the board). It kinda fucks you up a bit but I hope I'm going to be better for it in the end.
Friend, you made the right decision. The LDS presents a particularly bad version of Christianity. It asks you to give up your own ability to reason and self determine to the 'wisdom' of the church; which itself is built on the shakiest of foundations. By leaving the church, you have increased the likelihood that you will find the true nature of life and reality.

Happy trails.
