Just How Sick Has Toxic Religion Made Us?
When we were in the non-affirming evangelical church, we did not realize how toxic it was or how sick it was making us.
When we opened the box we had God in, when we began to deconstruct those false teachings, we begin to see all the symptoms – our views, attitudes, lack of compassion, judgment.
We came to understand how sick toxic religion had made us.
